The generator service has been switched to the new formatting syntax of CL vNext.

This mostly affects links and images:
Instead of
Code:
{"https://example.com"|Site}
{"https://example.com/image.png"|Caption|img}
Use
Code:
[Site](https://example.com)
![Alt Text](https://example.com/image.png "Caption")

Could syntax changes be announced in advance so that generators suddenly just don't stop working?

You are right. We have a staging area for a reason.
I will switch the Generator Service and Generator UI to the new syntax next Friday, Mar 5.

Thanks! That should give people enough reaction time to update at least their most crucial generators. (y)

Instead of just switching to the new formatting you can decide in your generator which one is used.

Just add
Code:
formatting: "new"
in your JSON to use the new formatting. Use a value of "old" or don't specify formatting at all to use the old formatting.

Only the formatting specified in the topmost generator is considered, i.e., the generator that was used to trigger the generation request; so no mixing of formats is possible.

@JochenL Tried opening the generator creation UI from vNext. Login done - flashes a screen full of boxes for a second and logs out again. What could be the problem. I know there are for example problem in one generator when using it from the old campaign logger UI (it cannot find one of the generators so generates the normal error message for it in the output).

It would be better that the new UI opens and marks invalid ones with a cross and lets one edit those. Now cannot even login to generator creation.

We had this before and therefore added this paragraph:

Yes they are allowed (=they are not blocked)
Are you using Incognito-Browsing?
Do you have Ad-Blockers installed?
Are you using Brave?

would be good to not require track prevention off

Yes, I know. I need to switch from silent refresh to refresh tokens. This is a bit involved as there are heightened security requirements for this. I am already experimenting but I don't have a ready solution yet.
