# Release notes > **Release date: April 16, 2026** ## V1.9.0 **Release date: April 16, 2026** ### What's new **User and group search for task assignment** The **Assign Task**, **Create App Task**, and **Create Form Task** activities now include a search dropdown for finding users and groups when assigning tasks. For more information, see [Assign Tasks](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/assign-tasks), [Create App Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-user-action), and [Create Form Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-form-task). :::note In Studio Web debug mode, only self-assignments will work for users as the solution uses the debug workspace folder during design time. ::: **Coded Action Apps in Studio Web RPA workflows** You can now use Coded Action Apps — custom React or Angular applications — as the user interface for Action Center tasks in Studio Web RPA workflows. This gives developers full control over the task interface and the ability to surface additional platform context for the human reviewer. ### Bug fixes * Fixed an issue where the **Create App Task** activity used `DeployVersion` instead of `semVersion` for the app version, causing a mismatch with the version displayed in Orchestrator. ## V1.8.1 **Release date: January 28, 2026** ### What's new **Round-robin task assignment** You can now distribute tasks within a local group using a round-robin assignment strategy. For details on configuring task assignment, refer to Assign Task and Group assigning actions. **Assigning tasks using a user ID** You can now assign tasks directly to a specific user by providing their User ID in the Assign Tasks activity. Input the ID in the User Id field. ### Bug fixes * Fixed an issue where editable input fields in actionable notifications were not functioning correctly. Inputs can now be modified as expected. * Fixed an issue where `isFirstRun` was not saved in **Wait for Task and Resume** activities, which caused incorrect behavior in track object events. ## V1.7.2 **Release date: September 4, 2025** ### Bug fixes * Studio Desktop no longer freezes when you try to select an app in the **Create App Task** activity. * We have fixed **Add Queue Item And Get Reference** intermittent failures due to GetAccessToken time outs. ## V1.7.1 **Release date: August 5, 2025** ### What's new **Group assignments** You can now assign actions to an entire group of users with the least workload in a particular group. The **Assign Tasks** activity helps you to achieve this using the **Assignment criteria** property of the [Assign Tasks](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/assign-tasks) activity. This allows you to assign tasks to all users within a group, or to assign actions to users from a specific group, based on their workload. For more information on group assignments, visit [Assign Tasks](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/assign-tasks) and [Group assignments](https://docs.uipath.com/action-center/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-actions#group-assignments). ## V1.7.0 **Release date: July 10, 2025** ### What's new **Action app creation from the Create App Task activity** Enhance your automation process by automatically creating an Action app directly from the Create App Task activity's body. When expanding the **Apps** dropdown list, in your solution projects within Studio Web, you can find the **+ Resource** option. This option takes you to a freshly-created Action app. Here, you can start setting up your action schema and further configure the app. For more information, visit [Create App Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-user-action). ### Bug fix Accessing a `ContentValidationData` variable in a Studio Web workflow resulted in an error indicating that this variable type is not supported. ## V1.6.4 **Release date: May 28, 2025** We are constantly working to improve your Persistence experience. Even though there are no major significant changes with this release, we made sure to bring minor improvements to our product. ## V1.6.2 **Release date: May 5, 2025** ### Improvements * The **Apps** dropdown list from the Create App Task activity now displays Action apps based on the Orchestrator folder where they were created and deployed to. * In Studio Web workflows that are part of a solution, if options are available within the solution itself, they will be displayed for both the **Add Queue Item And Get Reference** and **Start Job And Get Reference** activities. This update populates the **Queue Name** and **Process Name** dropdown lists with options available as part of the solution. * When adding a process in Orchestrator that contains a **Create App Task** activity, referencing a specific Action app, you now have the option to overwrite the packaged Action app with another one during the process configuration in Orchestrator. For more information, visit [Deploying processes](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-processes#deploying-processes). Additionally, a similar option is now available for action catalogs - you have the ability to overwrite any action catalog that was initially configured in the Studio process. ### Bug fixes Selecting **Save** in the **Bulk Form Designer** did not save the latest changes. ## V1.5.19 **Release date: April 2, 2025** ### What's new The ability to create actionable notifications, using the Create App Task activity, is now generally available. After you select the desired Action app, enable **Actionable notifications**, and configure the fields you want to include in the actionable notification. Currently, Outlook is the only notification channel that supports this feature. For more information on enabling and configuring actionable notifications, visit [Create App Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-user-action). ### Improvements We have made the following enhancements to the **Create App Task** activity: * The **Orchestrator Folder Path** now auto-populates when you select a deployed app from the **Apps** dropdown list, aligning the location of the app and the task creation. After the field is automatically populated, it becomes read-only. * For better visibility, we have also moved the **Orchestrator Folder Path** property from the Properties panel to the more prominent Designer panel. ## V.1.5.11 **Release date: 4 October 2024** ### What's new * As part of our ongoing improvements, we have introduced a size limit of **1 MB** for arguments used in data at design time. The affected activities are: + CreateAppTask + CreateExternalTask + CreateFormTask ### Bug fixes * For activities of type "wait and resume", we've resolved an issue that incorrectly converted edited numbers with decimal points to integers upon submission. Decimal data will now be retained correctly. * We've updated the process of creating an App task to fix a bug around tenant name matching. Now, the Orchestrator URL and the API response correctly match tenant names, regardless of differing letter cases. ## V1.5.9 **Release date: 19 July 2024** ### What's New App actions are now generally available! What's exciting in this release: * A new **Get App Task** activity. This activity allows you to fetch either a specific app task or multiple app tasks defined in Apps. To learn more about the Get App Task activity, check the official [documentation](https://docs.uipath.com/action-center/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/get-app-tasks). * A new **Configure Task Timer** activity. This activity allows you to set a timer for tasks that need to be completed by a certain time. Once the task's expiry time approaches, automated processes start notifying you. You no longer need to manually keep track. For more information about the new Configure Task Timer activity, check the official [documentation](https://docs.uipath.com/action-center/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/configure-task-timer). * The **Apps** dropdown in the **Create App Tasks** activity only shows deployed apps that have actions. ## V1.5.5 **Release date: 19 February 2024** ### What's New This marks the release of App actions, currently in public preview! App actions empower you to design interactive apps using App Studio, and then employing them as actions within Action Center. App actions bring increased customization of actions and a more seamless integration between other UiPath services, while interacting during a long-running workflow. The key benefits of App actions are: * **Effortless Action creation**: easily build custom actions or use pre-made templates in Apps. * **Seamless interaction**: create actions while being fully immersed in the UiPath user experience, without using any third-party tool. * **Custom controls**: design actions using all the controls available in App Studio. To kickstart your App actions journey, visit the documentation resources below: * [Create App Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-user-action) * [Wait For App Task And Resume](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/wait-for-user-action-and-resume) :::note App actions are available with Studio version 2022.10 or higher. ::: ### Improvements Enhanced the platform for an improved user experience. ## V1.4.8 **Release date: 20 October 2023** :::note Install **UiPath.FormActivityLibrary** version 2.0.7 or higher to enable the form designer. ::: ### What's New **Advanced Forms** Get ready to experience a new way of creating forms with Advanced Forms in Action Center. With these latest enhancements, you'll have even more tools to create forms: * **Improved rendering performance**. * **Full usage of Edit Grid Templates** - Now you can use the **Templates** for customizing an **Edit Grid** using JavaScript to enhance your forms. Visit [Customizing Edit Grid templates](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/customizing-edit-grid-templates) to learn how to customize Edit Grid templates. * **New Button type** - The **Button** component has been revamped allowing it to function as an **Event**. You can now configure event-based actions for buttons, making your form actions more dynamic and interactive. Visit [Using buttons to trigger custom logic](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/using-buttons-to-trigger-custom-logic) to learn how to use the new button type. * **Modern JavaScript customization** - Personalize your forms using ES6 and modern JavaScript practices. * **Expanded form logic capabilities** - Use the `instance` and `options` variables in JavaScript form logic, to create more responsive forms. ### Improvements We enhanced accessibility and user experience with various fixes and improvements, including targeted enhancements to the look and feel of activities. ## V1.4.6 **Release date: 15 June 2023** ### Bug fixes When using the Persistence activity package inside **Cross-platform** projects, the [Create Form Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-form-task) activity was disabled. ## V1.4.5 **Release date: 28 March 2023** ### Improvements Brought improvements for the general performance of the activity package. ## V1.4.4 **Release Date: 13 March 2023** ### What's New Assigning tasks just got easier with the improved **Assign Tasks** activity! How did the process of assigning tasks change? * You can now assign a single task based on Task ID and username (or email). * You can achieve a different view of the activity when you want to assign multiple tasks to multiple users, by selecting **Enable Multiple Assignments**. Check out the documentation for the [Assign Tasks](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/assign-tasks) activity. ### Known Issues **Erratum 14 August 2023**: The Form Designer might not automatically update when a new column is added to grid components. To address this, you can use the workaround documented at the end of the [Create Form Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-form-task) topic. **Erratum 24 March 2023**: When using the **1.4.4** version of the Persistence package in **Cross-platform** projects, the **Create Form Task** activity is disabled. ## V1.4.3 **Release Date: 19 December 2022** ### New features The reusability and management of Form Actions is now improved thanks to the **Use Local Form File** property. This property allows you to create the form layout as a JSON file outside the **Create Form Task** activity, and inside the project. Find out more about the new properties by visiting the [Create Form Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-form-task) activity page, and more about how to use the feature by checking the [Using an external form layout](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/using-an-external-form-layout) tutorial. To use the external form layout feature, also install the following packages: * **FormActivityLibrary** v**2.0.4** * **FormActivityLibrary.Contracts** v**2.0.4**. ## V1.4.2 **Release Date: 15 November 2022** :::important * For Studio versions 2022.10 or higher, you must pair it with **Persistence.Activities** version **1.4.2** and with **FormActivityLibrary.Activities** version **2.0.3** or higher. ::: #### Features * The Persistence activity package is now fully compatible with Cross-platform project types. ### Improvements * Starting with this release, the **Form Layout** has a limit of maximum 1 MB. Therefore, you are no longer allowed to create Actions that have a Form Layout bigger than 1 MB. To fit in this 1MB limit, you need to embed images inside forms, using **Storage Buckets** only. Also, we suggest using images of type **base64** only for logos and icons smaller than 2KB. * The look of the activities was improved. ### Known Issues * When paired with UiPath Studio version 2022.10.3, the **Open Form Designer** and **Open Bulk Form Designer** buttons are enabled even if the **FormActivityLibrary** package isn't installed. Even if the buttons are enabled, clicking them won't perform any action, until you install the **FormActivityLibrary** package. To solve this, make sure to install the **FormActivityLibrary** package. * When paired with UiPath Studio version 2022.10.3, the **Open Form Designer** and **Open Bulk Form Designer** buttons don't have tooltips attached, that display when hovering over them. ### Bug Fixes For the **Wait for Form Task and Resume Activity**, the **AssignedToUserProperty** did not display the expected information in the **Output** panel. ## V1.4.1 **Release Date: 28 June 2022** ### Bug Fixes * When leaving empty or clearing a non-mandatory DateTime field inside a grid, users get the following error: "Error converting value "" to type 'System.DateTime'. Path '[1].atd', line 31, position 13". This behavior has been fixed. ## V1.4.0 **Release Date: 4 May 2022** * We're boosting the human-robot interaction by including action labeling in the robot span of operations. For Create form task and Create external task activities, we added a new property called Labels, allowing you to add labels for all actions generated by aforementioned activities. Moreover, a new activity joins the pack, to help you add or delete labels from an existing action. Read more details about the [Update Task Labels](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/update-task-labels) activity. * The error "Attempted to access an element as a type incompatible with the array" occurred while creating a form action through the **Create Form Task** activity. May the forth be with you! ## V1.3.4 **Release Date: 7 April 2022** With this patch, we upgraded the Telemetry Client version to 1.5.3. ## V1.3.3 **Release Date: 15 March 2022** Starting with this version, the UiPath.Persistence.Activities pack supports the.NET5 framework. Additionally, you can now design actions in the OS of your choice, as cross-platform development also becomes available. ## V1.3.2 **Release Date: 27 January 2022** We fixed a bug that caused the **Create Form Task** activity to result in a `HTTP timeout expired` exception. The exception occurred in Orchestrator versions older than **2021.10** and UiPath.Persistence.Activities packs newer than **1.2.2**. ## V1.3.1 **Release Date: 14 October 2021** This version contains a fix that allows the package to be installed in v2021.10 Studio. The Persistence pack has a dependency on the `UiPath.Activities.Api` pack, whose installation was restricted by Studio. ## V1.3 **Release Date: 12 October 2021** New patch, new features. Enrich your long-running workflows with the new functionality brought by this version of the Persistence activities package ### Features * The new Create Form Task property, called [Enable Bulk Edit](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-form-task), reveals the freshly added **Bulk Form Designer**. Use the new designer to create special action forms, that can be updated in bulk. For more information about bulk editing actions, read [our documentation](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/bulk-form-designer). * Did you know you can instruct your robot to add comments on a specific action? Use the **Add Task Comment** activity and put your robot to good work. Learn how to use the new activity from [our guide](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/add-task-comment). ## V1.2.2 **Release Date: 26 April 2021** ### Bug Fixes * The **Task Objects (Output)** of the **Get Form Tasks** activity didn't contain the `AssignedToUser` attribute. We made sure to include it in this version. ## V1.2.1 **Release Date: 26 March 2021** ### Bug Fixes * We fixed a bug causing the buttons from Studio to be accessible even if the **Form Designer** was opened. This occurred for Studio versions greater than 21.4. ## V1.2 **Release Date: 8 March 2021** ### Features * March brings new persistence activities, whose unified goal is to smooth your human in the loop workflow design and RPA exploration. From now on, in addition to what the previous pack versions provided, you can: + [Complete Tasks](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/complete-task) without the actual human intervention, + [Forward Tasks](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/forward-task) to a different user from within the workflow, + [Get Form Tasks](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/get-form-tasks) to filter actions by the their DTO properties, and + [Get Task Data](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/get-task-data) to retrieve the current state of a task object. * Prior to **Persistence Activity pack v1.2**, when a user deleted one or more actions from the UI or through API endpoints, the workflow containing the deleted actions remained in a suspended state permanently. This Persistence Activity version resumes the workflow automatically after a deletion, and delivers the **isDeleted** property of a task object, to help you identify the resumption' source (action deletion or completion). ### Improvements * The [Create Form Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-form-task) activity is now enhanced with the **Reference** and **GenerateInputFields** fields. The **Reference** field helps you group several actions under the same reference ID, and later retrieve those actions using the **Get Form Tasks** activity. The **GenerateInputFields** is a select box field that, if selected, adds the additional entries from the **FormData** collection to the Form Designer. * The **Task Assignment Type** property of the [Assign Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/assign-tasks) activity now holds the **Reassign** attribute, which allows you to assign the same action to a different user. * The **Task Object (Output)** from the **Create Form Task** activity has an additional property, namely **ActionUrl**, configured as `https://cloud.uipath.com///actions_/tasks/`. This URL directs the user to the cloud version of the action that corresponds to the ``, from the `` tenant within the `` organization in Automation Cloud. #### Bug Fixes * The **TableName** of a **DataTable** object used in a **Create Form Task** activity was lost after the execution of the corresponding persistence point activity (**WaitForFormTaskAndResume**). This behavior no longer occurs. * We fixed an issue that caused a runtime error for the **CreateFormTask** activities that had **Select Boxes** components. ## V1.1.9 **Release Date: 13 November 2020** ### New Features and Improvements This update brings a new, optimized reading of task meta-data, specifying only the fields that are required and thus helps scenarios where workflows contain the **Wait for Task and Resume** activity in a **Parallel For Each** with a large number of Actions in the list. Please note that it is recommended to introduce an appropriate batching of the number of actions that one job can wait on for each business scenario, as the payload size is influenced by the size of the form per Action, as well as the server capacity (server configuration, expected load, etc.), while using the **Wait for Task and Resume** activity in a **Parallel For Each**. The default limit is set to 1000 actions per job, on which you can read more [here](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/docs/orchestration-process#best-practices). ## V1.1.8 **Release Date: 12 October 2020** ### New Features and Improvements The amount of packages you can find on UiPath activity feeds is humongous, and it grows with each passing day. This can prove to be a nuisance when searching for a package with a more common name, for example. We felt your pain and decided to do something about this. From now on, all UiPath official activity packs can be easily filtered in the Package Manager so you’ll be able to reach your favorite package in no time! In a lot of business cases, the need arises that people can upload files when completing a form, and the files then need to be passed on to other machines in order to be processed. Uploading files and passing them to Robots by using the **Create Form Task** and **Upload File** activities is now supported, and the RPA developer can configure parameters such as maximum file size and single or multi upload. ## V1.1.7 **Release Date: 1 September 2020** ### Improvements Telemetry is now supported only if the versions of the Studio and Robot you are using are above v20.4. ## V1.1.6 **Release Date: 17 August 2020** ### Improvements Due to some internal dependencies that have been modified, a hotfix has been created for this activities pack and the version has been incremented. ## V1.1.5 **Release Date: 5 August 2020** ### New Features and Improvements The TLS internal dependency version has been upgraded to match the one used by the entire UiPath Platform. Folder Path headers used when performing Orchestrator API calls have been modified for enhanced functionality. Performing API calls to Orchestrator can now be done by using the bearer tokens from the Robot API. Dynamic drop-downs in forms can now be used with the **Create Form Task** activity, enabling you to select which values are displayed in a child drop-down based on the selection in a parent drop-down. The Persistence activities pack has been updated to support the new Interactive Sign In feature, enabling the usage of the Access Token for accessing Orchestrator Resources. The `FormTaskData` object now features several new attributes, which enable you to filter your results by criteria such as User ID or creation and completion time. These values are populated when the workflow connects to Orchestrator 20.7 or above and remain empty for lower versions. ### Bug Fixes * When using the **Create Form Task** activity, values in drop-down menus were duplicated. * Fixed an issue that caused very long response times in Orchestrator when using large forms with the **Create Form Task** activity. * When using search in drop-downs, only the first 4 results were displayed. ## V1.1.4 **Release Date: 22 June 2020** ### New Features and Improvements The **Storage Bucket Name** and **Storage Folder Path** properties have been added to the **Create Form Task** activity, to fully enable you to use the Orchestrator Storage Bucket feature in your workflows. ### Bug Fixes * The **Start Job And Get Reference** activity failed to create jobs when using Modern Folders if a folder path was supplied. * When using Modern Folders, the Persistence activities failed to execute if a folder path was not supplied. ## V1.1.3 **Release Date: 21 April 2020** ### Improvements This patch has brought the End User License Agreement of the **UiPath.Persistence.Activities** up to date. ## V1.1.2 **Release Date: 9 April 2020** ### Improvements Internal dependencies have been updated to be consistent with updates done to the **UiPath.Form.Activities** pack. ## V1.1.1 **Release Date: 23 March 2020** ### New Features and Improvements Further developing our solution, the [Create Form Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-form-task),[Add Queue Item And Get Reference](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/add-queue-item-and-get-reference),[Start Job And Get Reference](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/start-job-and-get-reference), and [Create External Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-external-task) activities have a new property, called **FolderPath**, which enables you to designate the creation of tasks in other folders than the one the Robot executes in. ### Known Issues * Drop-down fields do not function properly in Task Forms, values in drop-downs are duplicated, automatically deleted, and search does not work with them in versions lower than Orchestrator 20.4. ## V1.1.0 **Release Date: 4 February 2020** :::important This package version requires Studio v2019.10 or above and Orchestrator v2020.2 or above. This also requires upgrading the **UiPath.FormActivityLibrary** to v1.0.2 or above. Using versions lower than recommended does not provide the long running workflow capabilities and may create unexpected results during execution. ::: #### New Features and Improvements As we now support external tasks, we have added two new activities, [Create External Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-external-task) and [Wait For External Task And Resume](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/wait-for-external-task-and-resume), that can easily add external tasks to your workflows. The [Assign Tasks](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/assign-tasks) activity has been added, enabling you to assign any kind of task to a specified human user. ### Known Issues * The Edit Grid control for IN arguments displays a read-only grid with an add new row button. * DataTables with OUT direction added in the **FormFieldsCollection** property do not function properly. ## V1.0.1 **Release Date: 25 October 2019** ### New Features and Improvements This release features our first stable official version of the Persistence activities, comprised of seven activities, as follows: * [Start Job And Get Reference](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/start-job-and-get-reference) * [Wait for Job and Resume](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/wait-for-job-and-resume) * [Add Queue Item And Get Reference](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/add-queue-item-and-get-reference) * [Wait For Queue Item And Resume](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/wait-for-queue-item-and-resume) * [Create Form Task](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/create-form-task) * [Wait for Form Task and Resume](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/wait-for-form-task-and-resume) * [Resume After Delay](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/resume-after-delay) ## V1.0.0 **Release Date: 23 September 2019** ### New Features and Improvements This first version of the **Persistence** activities pack comes as a Community release, meant to showcase the newest concept that we want to introduce in the world of Digital Process Automation. These activities, alongside our other features in the rest of the UiPath components, embody our **Human In the Loop** cross-platform concept, which uses a seamless transition between robotic automation and human intervention to enhance the capabilities of RPA.
