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?

    Hi @ague.

     

    The easiest way to find it is to search the page:

     

    "The Functions panel for expression and validator functions was added. The panel replaces the Expression and Validator widgets."

     

    Regards.
