Identify jQuery in Forms

This utility end point returns a list of forms that potentially contain jQuery.

The 26th April Standard Site releases (Standardised Site iCM4j 18.0.1330 and Standardised Site iCM.NET 15.0.0) upgraded jQuery from version 2.2.4 to 3.7.1, which deprecated some features. To make it easier to identify any of your forms that need to be reviewed, this end point searches through your forms and returns the names and IDs of any that might use jQuery.

The search will probably return false positives, because it searches for $( in your form content. It also identifies any use of jQuery, not just the elements that are deprecated.

Running the End Point

Extract and import the file in  (ZIP) [1KB](opens new window) (see Importing and Exporting End Points for a reminder). After the import, you'll see GOSS.support.findJQueryForms.

On the Testing tab, add the ID of the form group you'd like to search in as the parentGroupId. The search will search this group and any child groups:

Run the test to return the list of forms:

Search in your Form

When you are editing a form you can use the search in the left-hand actions panel to find where jQuery is being used:

In this case, jQuery is being used, but it's not a breaking change listed on https://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/3.0/ (opens new window) - although I will probably think of a nicer way to implement the script that doesn't use jQuery at all.
