Clarification on changes in EPiServer.Forms 5.5.0

Johan Kronberg

We upgraded to EPiServer.Forms 5.5.0 and did not verify e-mails from forms before going live.

If we try a new form and put in variables they get formatted with :: instead of the old #-markers seemingly making old placeholder markers not work, e-mails show up without replacement made.

Example of new insert vs. before:
::Sammanställning av samtliga svar::
#Sammanställning av samtliga svar#

Suspect that this is related to this item:
https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/Release-Notes/ReleaseNote/?releaseNoteId=AFORM-3260

Is there is some kind of announcement/guide/documentation available on what to do after getting this update?

Are we expected to edit all placeholders?

Hi Johan, we're so sorry for this inconvenience. We're working on a hotfix and will release a new version (5.5.1) very soon to fix this issue. With the hotfix, both placeholder formats will work, but I still recommend using the new one (with ::).
