Lightning Autofill BETA v13.9.3 released

In addition to various bug fixes, we made two big enhancements to cloud sync in this update:

  1. Data now syncs to Google Sheets when you generate rules without having to open the Options page first.
  2. When you first start Edge or Firefox, you no longer have to go to the Options page to reconnect your Google account.

The video below illustrates this. In the video, we load Edge, and without opening the Options page to reconnect our Google account, we update an autofill rule using the infobar wizard (change value from “aaa” to “zzz”). This updated rule is then synced to Google Sheets.

What’s not shown in the video is another improvement to cloud sync: when you have bi-directional sync enabled, Lightning Autofill automatically retrieves data from Google Sheets before generating new rules so that you minimize the risk of overwriting new rules that were added to Google Sheets from another PC or browser (a big quality-of-life improvement for cloud sync users who manage rules in Google Sheets from multiple devices).

If there are no reported bugs for a week, then this should be the last release before it gets pushed to the stable channel.

Changelog:

  • Improved cloud sync connection process
  • Optimized bi-directional sync
  • Fixed regression generating radio group rules
  • Fixed JavaScript error with sandboxed iframes
  • Fixed Google Sheets disconnection bug

Microsoft Forms update

It appears Microsoft recently updated the HTML code of Microsoft Forms. From now on, if you want to properly autofill Likert multiple-choice questions such as the one below, you need to disable the “Parse labels” option when generating rules.
