Replacement for Validator Widget in 8.4

What does PTC recommend that I use as a replacement for the validator widget in TWX 8.4? Seems that the validator widget has been removed in this version (or, at the least, it's be renamed to an unobvious name).

 

Thoughts?

Please note that Validator and Expression widgets were moved into "functions", right-bottom panel of the Mashup builder:

    Thank you!

     

    Just a head-up for PTC - when I Google 'ThingWorx 8.4 release notes', this is the first page I get: https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx_platform/r8.4/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx%2FHelp%2FRelease_Notes%2Fversion8.4.0ReleaseNotes.html%23.

     

    ^ These docs don't say anything about the change that you mentioned. Not sure why these release notes are different from the url you sent?

    Exactly @posipova - thank you for your help!

     

    @slangley - yes, I understand how to search on a page for something. But as I mentioned on my post, the point to address here is that when you Google search (for example) the release notes for 8.4, your top hit will be a slightly different PTC document which does not address the validator issue (and therefore, it seems, is perhaps an incomplete document). 

     

    Thank you!
