IOL Technique
So with the changes coming next month, does that kill the IOL technique?
I've noticed a lot of threads about it are gone now. ------------------------------ Jeff Peterson ----------...

Will service workers be impacted by these changs?
Hi G,
These changes do not change service workers as that functionality lives in your browsers. Service workers in your browser are changing the information delivered by Quickbase on your end very much like how an Ad Blocker works by finding the ads in a page after it has been delivered and extracting them. Service Workers is not something we recommend or support though in a similar vein to JavaScript inserted outside of code pages.
Since it changes things via your browser its use opens up concerns around your security and displaying your data with integrity. Beyond that because it is a browser add on that looks for things within the pages being delivered and executes changes it is vulnerable to breaking or causing strange behaviors when we update or change elements in Quickbase since we can't and don't test for these add ons. A great example would be a Service Worker today that alters your old table reports could break or cause a strange display in new table reports that might go unnoticed by your users for a time. Between the security concerns and the possibility of change we don't recommend them but this program isn't changing them since they happen on the browser side.
