This release focuses on correcting configuration and validation scenarios that could prevent Web Parts from behaving as expected. The changes address content mapping in News, navigation behavior in Filters, and license validation across Web Parts. Together, these updates make configuration more predictable for content authors, site owners and administrators, reducing cases where a valid selection or configuration does not produce the expected result.
Fixes
Filters (v3.0.2.73)
Links configured to open in a new tab now respect that setting
Site owners using the Filters Web Part on modern SharePoint pages could select "Open in a new tab", but links to internal SharePoint pages would still open in the current tab. Internal links now respect the configured option, so site owners can control whether links open in the current tab or a new one, regardless of whether the destination is within SharePoint.
News (v3.1.2.103)
Body column is now available for content mapping
Content authors configuring the News Web Part could encounter situations where the "Body" column was not available as a mapping option for "Content", while other fields such as title and summary remained available. The "Body" column can now be selected for content mapping, allowing authors to use the intended SharePoint content field when configuring News.
All web parts
Corrected license validation for subscriptions without tenant information
Intranet subscriptions require a license key to activate Web Parts within the associated tenant. Licence key validation could fail when a subscription had no associated tenant and no allowed domains, preventing administrators from introducing the license key. Licence validation now handles this subscription configuration correctly, allowing administrators to validate the license key without tenant or allowed-domain information incorrectly blocking the process. This prevents validation failures during initial setup while maintaining tenant-based license validation.
This release improves the reliability of common Web Part configuration scenarios, from displaying the right News content and controlling how links open to validating licenses across different subscription configurations.
