2026-08-13 — Per-form parent tables

New Features

• AdditionalTables on the generate API — a set whose forms iterate different parent tables (a PDF on Table3, a Word file on WordParentTable, …) can now be supplied every table it needs with the correct shape: one row per document. Existing requests are unaffected.
• Forms[].ParentTable in GET /TemplateSets/{id} — reports which Excel table each form iterates, so integrations can discover exactly what to send.
• X-ExForms-Forms-Not-Generated response header — names any form that produced no documents because its parent table was missing from the request, instead of returning a clean response with documents silently absent.

Improvements

• The add-in now collects every form's parent table on Send Data. Previously one parent table was chosen for the whole set, and forms bound to a different table produced empty output. Mixed PDF + Word + PowerPoint + HTML sets fill all their documents.
• Missing tables are reported, not skipped silently. If a mapped table is no longer in the workbook (e.g. it was renamed after mapping), the generation result names the table and the affected file.
• HTML child mapping — selecting a child table now fills its columns in automatically, and re-saving a mapping after renaming the parent table updates the stored relationship.
