Description

Is the old template, such as HTML_Top, still supported?
Users are experiencing issues with these legacy autoprompt options.

Issue/Introduction

This article is about legacy autoprompt options on the Parameter Prompting page of the Administration Console.

Resolution

The legacy autoprompt templates issues cannot be resolved in upcoming releases due to the necessity of adapting to the Designer template.

Since version 9.0.0, we've made the Designer autoprompt template the default for parameter prompting. However, we've still kept the legacy HTML and Responsive autoprompt templates as alternatives. 

Recent required updates to JQuery-UI have caused disruptions for the Responsive autoprompt template.
In light of this, instead of continuing with maintaining these legacy templates, we've decided to use the modernized Designer autoprompt template fully. Consequently, we will now exclusively use the Designer autoprompt and discontinue the display of legacy autoprompt options in the Parameter Prompting page of the Administration Console.

We understand this may cause inconvenience, but going forward, it's essential to utilize the Designer autoprompt instead of the Responsive or HTML options. Your cooperation in this change is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
