Liferay Portal 7.4 CE GA78 and Liferay DXP 7.4 Update 78 Tomcat Bundles and Docker Images come with Elasticsearch 7.17.10 for Sidecar.

This new frontend client extension allows users to replace the existing theme spritemap without the need to redeploy a theme. The spritemap should include all icons needed for the scope where it is used.

The Control Panel still uses the admin spritemap.

After registering the client extension, in the page template or page you need to use it, configure it from the design options menu:

To enable this client extension, do it from the Feature Flags management UI:

This feature allows developers to create or update an object and its related elements in a single request, optimizing the requests performed to the server, thus improving the overall performance of your solution.

Provided the necessary data for the related elements (ExternalReferenceCode, Id, etc), if the element already exists, it will relate the two objects, if the related element does not exist, it will create the object and it will relate them.

It is also possible to remove related elements by just updating the parent without the elements that are not related anymore.

Now, developers will be able to filter Custom Object Entries using the field values of the related elements for a given Object entry.

It is possible to filter as many levels as needed. The format of the filter query needs to be: relationshipName1[/relationshipName(i)]*/fieldNameN. Being relationshipName1, relationshipName(i), etc the different relationship names that join Object 1 with Object i, and fieldNameN being the name of the field of the latest Object definition on which the user wants to filter.

In addition to this, our nesting capabilities have been enhanced, so now it is possible to retrieve data for an Object entry and its related elements, supporting several levels of nesting.

The names of the different relationships to retrieve need to be specified in the nestedFields parameter, separated by commas. Additionally, the nestedFieldsDepth parameter with the number of levels to retrieve needs to be specified in order to indicate to Liferay how many levels it is necessary to nest.
