Breaking Changes

Some steps have been removed due to security concerns and are no longer supported. We understand that this may impact existing flows, and recommend using the new Upgrade Validator to determine if any of your flows are affected. The Upgrade Validator is designed to help identify and address any potential issues that may result from upgrading.

[DT-030733] FHIR Module: Add FHIR R4 Cannot have R3 and R4 FHIR Modules Installed Together Decisions has added a new FHIR integration module that supports FHIR R4. Please note that environments may only use either the R3 or the R4 modules. Contact the Support team for assistance with removing previous FHIR modules before installation at support@decisions.com.

[DT-038230] Kill List: Entity Actions to Create Text Merge Entity
Decisions will be removing the "Text Merge Entity" from the product.
