Peter, Thanks for your input.
When you made the transition, what were the biggest pitfalls? We prepared a move from v12 to v13. A big job was to convert lots of grouped scrollable areas to listboxes. We had tons of those in the app. We’ve seen with v15 the biggest thing seems to be the unique keys, presumably with uuids. How did you handle that? Did you just have uuids added onto all your tables?
