Version 84 brings a significant upgrade to Custom Properties with the introduction of Reference-type navigation, expanded Veeva automated testing capabilities, and several quality-of-life improvements across the platform.

For more information see the release notes for Version 84.

Custom Property References

Custom Properties of type Reference can now refer to Rave draft objects, and we've built out a full navigation experience around them. When a Reference property appears in a list view, it links directly to the referenced object. The same applies in the object editor, where you'll find a clickable link to navigate to the target. If your object is referenced by another custom object, you'll see a convenient link in the editor sidebar back to the referencing object. When a Reference property is part of an object identifier, the link appears right alongside the identifier in the custom objects list.

These navigational links make it much easier to work with related objects without having to search or browse manually. When you copy a custom object with a Reference property into a draft, the reference is automatically resolved to the corresponding object in the destination draft when it exists.

Beyond References, we've added support for custom properties on Unit Dictionary Entries, giving you the same extensibility for units that you already have for other object types. Custom object layouts also now support a read-only mode for fields and containers — fields marked as read-only display a lock icon and cannot be edited, and child elements can override their parent container's setting when needed.

Veeva Automated Testing

We've continued to expand our Veeva testing capabilities in this release. The Test Case Advisor is now available for Comparison Rules, helping you generate test scenarios for this rule type just as it does for other Veeva rules.

Several new test steps improve how you work with subjects in Veeva test cases. You can now check the value of a subject's name and status directly in your test scenarios. The Test Case editor will also warn you if a data entry step could change the subject name without a subsequent step to verify or re-select the subject, helping you catch potential issues before execution.

Query steps now display their status in user-friendly text rather than raw values, making test results easier to read. We've also improved the messaging when a Form is restricted and the test runner account doesn't have restricted data access — you'll see a clear explanation if a Form isn't found due to permissions rather than a generic error.

AI Agent Controls

Organizations now have finer-grained control over AI Agent availability with a new URL/Vault level setting. This allows you to enable or disable AI Agents on a per-URL or per-Vault basis, giving administrators more flexibility in rolling out agent capabilities across their organization.

Veeva Reserved Words Diagnostic

A new diagnostic for Veeva studies checks whether Items are using reserved words. This helps you catch potential conflicts early in the study build process before they cause issues in your Vault environment.
