An invisible editor resets client values to initial server values

What Changed

The value of an invisible editor is not saved to the server and is reset to the initial server value.

Reasons for Change

In previous versions, an invisible editor's value could be changed using a client-side API. When a control got its value from the client, this changed value could be loaded as the editor value.

Impact on Existing Apps

This change affects your application if it contains a data editor with the Visible property set to false.

How to Change the Default Behavior

We introduced the BackwardCompatibilitySettings.DataEditorsPreventLoadClientValuesForInvisibleControls property with the default value set to true. Set this property to false to return to the previous behavior.
