:When you clone a [[Form]] and change its type-designation to "mobile", the fields in the form automatically rearranged into the fixed, two column mobile format.

====Create New Records in a Data Policy Action====
:You have always had the ability to update records in a Data Policy action. Now you can also add new records to an object.
:''Learn more:'' [[Data_Policies#About_Data_Policy_Actions|About Data Policy Actions]]

====Lookups Can be Customized for the Current User====
:For a Lookup field, you specify criteria that lists records for a user to choose from. The criteria you specify can now employ a variety of template variables that contain information for the current user, so you can customize the list for that user.

====AutoCopy Fields Supported for Mobile Forms====
<!--:When using Mobile access to create or edit a [[Form]], it is now possible to set up Lookup AutoCopy fields, to automatically copy data from the Lookup target record to the current record.-->
:Mobile [[Forms]] now support AutoCopy of data from a [[Lookup]] target record to the current record. (Previously, that option was available only in the standard UI.)
:''Learn more:'' [[Lookup#Lookup-Based Auto-Copy of Field Data|AutoCopy of Field Data]]

====Nested Loops in Print Templates====
:In a [[Print Template]], <tt>#foreach</tt> instructions can now be nested inside one another. So if the outer loop is processing Orders related to a Customer, for example, then an inner loop can process OrderItems for each Order.

=== For Developers ===
<blockquote>
====New Parameters Make it Possible to Write Robust Data Policies====
