Swift Release 26 – May features the following capabilities:
The May 2026 release prioritizes user journey optimization and visual brand alignment, offering enhanced diagnostic tools and multi-step orchestration to streamline your digital transformation.
Read on to discover the highlights of this release and unlock new possibilities for your app development journey.
Granular Theme Overrides
With this release, you now have the flexibility to bypass global styles at both the Application and Form levels. This dual-layer control allows you to maintain a standard look for your overall platform while creating custom visual identities for specific business processes or entry forms.
- Where to find it: Open the settings for any Application or specific Custom Form and toggle the “Override Theme” checkboxes.
Form-level UI customization with control over colors, login button styling and visibility, layout positioning, and one-click reset to global theme defaults for quick recovery.
Visual Headers
With this release, you can now enhance your page layouts by adding customizable icons directly to the Header Text control. This helps create better visual cues and a more modern interface.
Enhanced header design with integrated icons, full styling control, unified alignment, and support for headers and subtitles in one structured layout.
Swift Object Analytics
With this release, you can now gain a deep understanding of your data performance. This feature provides a real-time window into how your Swift Objects are being utilized across the entire platform.
- Where to find it: Navigate to Swift Objects in the Design Studio and click the new Analytics tab next to any specific object.
Comprehensive monitoring with breakdown of GET/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations, request source tracking, historical usage trends, and flexible time-based filtering for performance insights.
Advanced Icon Logic in FBF Rule Engine
With this release, the rule engine for Find and Browse Forms (FBF) is now more visually expressive. You can now use icons to create dynamic, logic-driven status indicators directly within your data grids.
Path to Configure
- Navigate to your FBF > Top Gear Icon (Settings) > Data Formatting Rules > Select a Data Type > Enable “Define Rules” > Change Text.
Logic-driven icons in Change Text Rules with flexible replace/append options and universal support for enhanced contextual data display.
Workflow-Driven Grid Search
With this release, Grid search bars are now more than just filters, they are automation triggers. You can now invoke Swift Flow workflows directly from the search interface in editable Grid View controls.
- Where to find it: Open an editable Grid View > Configure Grid > Enable Search > Enable Swift Flow.
Search-triggered workflow automation with dynamic input mapping, auto-populated grid results, and flexible execution modes (onload or inline search).
Self-Service Login Recovery
With this release, we’ve introduced a “Forgot username or password?” option to the Designer login page. This new self-service feature allows users to securely recover their credentials without requiring manual intervention from a system administrator.
- Where to find it: Look for the “Forgot username or password?” link located just below the Sign In button on the main Designer login page.
Self-service login recovery with secure email-based reset links, instant account access restoration, and reduced dependency on admin support for uninterrupted productivity.
Multi-Step Form Wizard
With this release, we have introduced a powerful new layout component designed for building intuitive, multi-step user experiences. Specifically designed for Entry and VA Forms, the Wizard breaks down complex data entry into manageable, sequential steps.
- Where to find it: Look for the Form Wizard component under the Layout section in the Designer toolbox while editing an Entry or VA form.
Multi-step form wizard with progress tracking, state retention, full branding control, customizable step navigation, advanced styling, and embedded footer actions for workflow triggers.
Interactive System Tours
With this release, we have introduced interactive System Tours across the GO-Swift environment offering guided, on-screen walkthroughs of key modules to accelerate onboarding and simplify platform learning.
Intelligent Export & Import
With this release, we’ve introduced a smart dependency check for Application Export and Import that ensures your Swift Object forms never arrive without their underlying data structures.
Wrapping Up
That wraps up our latest updates to Swift!
These enhancements represent a fundamental shift from simply ‘managing data’ to ‘Designing Intelligence.’ By integrating automation like Swift Flow directly into grid search and providing granular UI control through Theme Overrides and the Form Wizard, we are simplifying complex enterprise workflows while giving you more design freedom than ever before.
📌 Pro Tip: Leverage the new Swift Flow Support in Grid Search with Search On-Load to give your users instant, automated access to data the moment they open a form. Pair this with the Form Wizard to maintain data state across complex multi-step processes, keeping your JDE integrations clean and your user interface incredibly powerful.
Thank you for being a part of the Swift community. Here’s to optimizing your processes and achieving success!

How Swift provides the game-changing capability?
Most low-code, no-code platforms evolved as the next-phase of the original development tools, built a decade or two ago, and still follow the same development mindset in their DNA. Although they’ve tried their best to make them easy for the business analysts and the users, majority have fallen short.
To bring about the real paradigm shift and benefits of a low-code/no-code platform, a grounds-up rethinking was required to work at a meta-data level, and incorporate at the core of the architecture, the latest and greatest advancements in web and mobile technologies, integration, security, analytics and cloud-based server frameworks.
