Claris Release Notes

Important

If you connect to a host running FileMaker Server 2024 (version 21) or earlier, wait to upgrade to FileMaker Pro 2026 until the host is also upgraded. If you're unsure, ask your IT department, server administrator, or app developer.
For supported host versions, see Claris FileMaker 2026 Technical Specifications.

New features and enhancements

Inspector pane option (macOS)

• By default, the Inspector pane now uses the standard Inspector. To switch to the adaptive Inspector introduced in version 26.0.1, select the new Use adaptive Inspector pane option in the Schema tab of the Settings dialog. See Using the Inspector to format objects.

Security updates

• Windows: When you sign out of a Claris ID account, an additional dialog is no longer displayed, simplifying the sign-out process.
• The following third-party libraries have been updated to the indicated versions:
  • libcurl 8.20.0
  • OpenSSL 3.5.7 LTS

Addressed issues

Artificial intelligence script steps

• The Insert Image Captions in Found Set script step didn't insert a caption when only one record in the found set required one.
• Using the Generate Response from Model script step with LM Studio when the Stream option was turned off sometimes generated a duplicate response.
• The Insert Embedding in Found Set script step returned an "Invalid JSON payload received" error when using a Google embedding model and specifying the Parameters option.
• When adding data, the Perform RAG Action script step sometimes returned no response and no error, even when the underlying request failed.
• After copying and pasting a Perform RAG Action script step, the Response Target setting was lost. This occurred if the action was to add data and the RAG Data option was one of the asynchronous settings.
• After copying and pasting a Configure Prompt Template script step, if the Model Provider option was set to Google, it was changed to OpenAI.

Adaptive Inspector pane (macOS)

• After selecting a layout part, the line and corner radius attributes didn't appear in the adaptive Inspector pane, even though they appeared in the Inspector window.
• The Remove from group button didn't appear when selecting a single object that belonged to a group. It was available only when selecting two or more objects in a group.

General

• Windows: FileMaker Pro stopped responding after you navigated to a layout whose base table was an Oracle database table connected as an external SQL data source, then signed in to the data source, regardless of whether the credentials were correct.
• If a client forced FileMaker Pro to quit or disconnected from FileMaker WebDirect while the Delete Account script step was running, the affected file could become locked and fail to open, security modifications would display a message indicating another user was modifying the items, and file verification would fail with error 808.

Important

If you connect to a host running FileMaker Server 2023 (version 20) or earlier, wait to upgrade to FileMaker Pro 2025 until the host is also upgraded. If you're unsure, ask your IT department, server administrator, or app developer.

For supported host versions, see Claris FileMaker 2025 Technical Specifications.

Addressed issues

• macOS: In macOS Tahoe, FileMaker Pro quit unexpectedly when you held the pointer over a text box after receiving a one-time verification code from SMS or Mail. As a workaround, automatic verification code suggestions in FileMaker Pro are now disabled for all macOS versions, while password autofill continues to function normally. Apple and Claris are working closely together to address the root cause of this issue so that automatic verification code suggestions can be restored in a subsequent version of FileMaker Pro.
• When opening a hosted file over a connection with HTTPS tunneling enabled, container field data took significantly longer to load than expected.
