Change Description


What changes?

Cumulocity introduces a new hookable multi-section concept for the widget configuration, and as a result, the loadConfigComponent method of the widgetHook is deprecated.

How does this change impact you?

Widget developers should start using the hookWidgetSection hook to add configuration to their own or existing widgets. This new approach supports multiple configuration sections to be displayed, offering greater flexibility and organization of widget settings.

Backward compatibility

The loadConfigComponent method continues to work in short term and will add a section named “Settings”, but it will be removed in an upcoming major release. We recommend migrating to the new approach as soon as possible.
