What's new in Swift Release 26 in July?
Swift Release 26 – July features the following capabilities:
The July 2026 release focuses on Redefining ERP Automation with AI-Driven Design and Intelligent Data Flow.
Read on to discover the highlights of this release and unlock new possibilities for your app development journey.
Smarter Branding from the Theme Agent
This Building a professional application just got an “AI-upgrade.” Our new AI Theme Agent (“Swiftly”) allows you to generate complete application branding through simple natural language prompts.
- Prompt-to-Design: Just ask Swiftly to “create a theme for a legal case management application,” and it will automatically select a polished color palette (deep navies, warm ivory), authoritative typography, and relevant professional imagery.
From login screens to navigation sidebars, the AI ensures your app looks and feels like a bespoke enterprise solution in seconds.
UI View for Controls on Designer (Logic Mapping)
The new Visualize Toggle in the App Designer brings complete transparency to complex form logic.
Available for Entry and View/Action forms, it provides a visual map of every condition applied to an attribute—including Read-Only, Required, Visible, Trigger Service, and more—along with a behavior summary that shows exactly how mapped values flow, making it easier than ever to build, understand, and audit complex business rules.
Hidden Column Functionality in FBF
You can now apply a rule inside your Find and Browse Forms to hide a specific column based on a condition.
Find and Browse Forms → Data Formatting Rules → Define Rules → Hide Column
This makes it easy to keep grids clean and only surface the data that’s relevant to the user or scenario in front of them, no more cluttered views with columns nobody needs.
Form-to-Grid Data Extraction
You can now extract data directly from header-level input fields (Text, Tag, Barcode) into an Editable Grid View.
On Entry and VA → Text, Tag, Barcode fields → Data Extraction → Enable Field Mapping → Grid View (Requires the form to have a GridView control with fields already configured.)
Extraction now supports mapping scanned or entered data directly from form fields into rows of a GridView. Define the path to your row data, map each value to the right column, and Swift will populate — or replace — grid rows automatically as data comes in.
Real-Time Grid Population
Editable grids are now more powerful with Populate on Load functionality.
Grid View control on Entry and VA → Editable Grid → Configure Grid → DataType = Barcode/Dropdown → Enable Search (Select Datasource)
Dropdown and barcode fields inside grid views can now populate their data in real time, right when the grid loads — no more waiting on manual triggers to get live options in front of your users.
Expanded Composite Views
All four composite view components: Financial Overview, Procurement Insights, Inventory Adjustment Insights, and Calendar/Appointments — are now available on both Entry and VA forms, giving you richer, ready-made dashboards to drop straight into your applications.
Wrapping Up
That concludes the July 2026 release highlights.
This update strengthens the Swift platform with clearer form logic visibility, more granular data control, and smarter automation across the board. From hidden column rules and real-time grid population to composite view components and cross-field data extraction, these improvements are designed to help teams build cleaner, more responsive applications with less manual configuration. On top of that, Swiftly’s expanded theming capabilities make it faster than ever to launch a fully branded application tailored to any use case.
📌 Pro Tip: Use the new Logic Mapping view on your Entry and View/Action forms to quickly audit conditions across Read-Only, Required, Visible, and Trigger Service attributes, then pair it with Data Extraction to Grid View to turn scanned or entered field data into structured, ready-to-use rows automatically.

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.
