1. Betty Genius: Enhanced 'Edit record' Form capabilities
We’re improving the 'Edit record' Form functionality in Genius-generated pages to make them more interactive and useful. Currently, generated 'Edit record' Forms include input fields but are lacking data binding and submission capabilities. With this enhancement, 'Edit record' Forms will be fully supported.
This support of functional 'Edit record' Form capabilities comes with the same setup and advantages of the recently released create record forms.
Timeframe: February 2026
2. Betty Genius: Form inputs based on Relational and List properties
In Genius-generated 'Create or Edit record' Forms, the following input cases will be supported:
- Select, Radio or Autocomplete inputs based on data model relationships.
- Select, Radio or Autocomplete inputs based on List properties.
Timeframe: February 2026
3. Betty Genius: Changing a generated Form post-generation
In Genius-generated pages, Forms could be created. This next release allows you to change Forms post-generation manually with the following cases:
- Extend your generated Forms by dragging a new input inside it (model property-based or not).
- Remove generated inputs from your generated Form
- Update generated inputs to a different property
Timeframe: February 2026
4. Betty-Genius: Enhanced Buttons to run an action
We’re improving the Button component functionality in Genius-generated pages to make them suitable to run an action on button click. Currently, generated pages are lacking Buttons that can run an action at runtime. With this update, Genius will generate pages that include:
- Buttons with placeholder (empty) actions are intended to trigger backend operations at runtime, such as Export my data, Send email, or Update record status.
- Buttons with fully configured and functional actions to support the delete record use case.
These buttons will be available on: Detail view pages, Edit record pages and Overview pages, within a data table column context
Timeframe: February 2026
5. Betty-Genius: Action response variables
In Genius-generated pages, we will introduce the use of action response variables. An action response variable is created for every action reference on a page or layout, providing a standardized way to access action results and the runtime metadata of the action (such as “is done” or “is loading”).
Action response variables are system-generated, displayed in both the resources sidebar and entity browser, and include structured information about the action outcome. Users can leverage these variables in UI components (to display real-time action outcomes), interactions or display logic without any manual setup.
Timeframe: February 2026
6. Betty-Genius: Filter collection variables on input fields
In Genius-generated pages, we will introduce the ability to use input fields as dynamic filters for collection variables behind data tables and lists. Input components (such as search fields) will be selectable within a collection variable’s filter configuration. When the input value changes at runtime, the filter is automatically applied and the updated data is queried. This enables a responsive search experience.
Limitations: Filtering will be triggered only on value change at runtime. Other events (e.g., on blur) are not supported yet. Applying multiple inputs together via a Button click is not yet available as well.
Timeframe: February 2026
Actions
New features
1. Wasm-based Actions are now publicly available
Value: As a developer, I want to write and run custom business logic using WebAssembly, so that I can extend my Betty Blocks applications with powerful, flexible, and enterprise-ready functionality.
With Wasm Actions, you can build logic in languages such as Rust and compile it to WebAssembly. This gives you more control over performance, reusability, and security, while staying fully integrated in the Betty Blocks Action flow. It enables advanced use cases, complex calculations, external integrations, and reusable logic components without being limited to predefined action steps.
Wasm runs in a secure sandboxed environment. This ensures enterprise-grade isolation and predictable execution, which makes it suitable for high-performance and mission-critical processes.
Impact: You can create and use Wasm actions just like any other action directly from the Action Builder.
- Build your WebAssembly component in your preferred supported language.
- Upload the compiled Wasm file to your Betty Blocks application.
- Use the Wasm function in the action flow just like other action steps.
Wasm Actions are currently an extension of the native actions. Existing actions will continue to work as before.

2. Automatic schema model generation for custom Wasm components
Value: Users can upload a custom Wasm component and have schema models automatically generated based on the WIT file definitions. This allows users to immediately work with accurate, reusable, and strongly typed data structures in the Actions canvas without manually creating them. With this new addition to the Wasm Actions, builders can quickly build API functions to connect to external data sources because the input and output structures are instantly available and correctly typed. This reduces setup time, prevents modeling errors, and ensures consistency across operations that use the same interface.
Impact: When uploading a custom Wasm file through the existing upload flow, schema models are now automatically generated from the WIT structure. If multiple operations reference the same interface, they are mapped to one shared schema model to prevent duplicates. When dragging the component onto the Actions canvas, the correct output schema model is automatically selected and behaves the same as manually created models. No additional configuration is required, and existing manual schema creation steps can be skipped for new Wasm uploads.

Connecting your business data with AI conversations through MCP
Value: Soon, Betty Blocks will introduce a new feature to the platform: MCP servers. Builders are able to connect their Betty Blocks application to AI assistants using the Model Context Protocol, so that AI can understand and interact with live business data in a controlled way. This enables AI-driven conversations that are grounded in real application data instead of static prompts. It reduces the need for custom API layers and makes it easier to bring AI into operational workflows. The result is faster innovation with full control over what data and actions are exposed.
Impact: After release, builders will be able to enable the MCP server in their application and configure which models and wasm actions are available to AI clients. AI tools that support MCP can then connect directly to the Betty Blocks application to read context or trigger actions. To gain value, builders can create an MCP server and define the MCP tools (the wasm actions) they want to make available.
Timeframe: mid-March 2026

1. Migration to new URL structure
Value: Improves platform stability and user experience by preventing unexpected logouts during development sessions. The new URL structure ensures more reliable authentication and smoother navigation across environments.
Impact
- The platform will move from the old URL structure:
https://ide-{zone}.betty.services/app/{appIdentifier}
to the new structure:https://{appIdentifier}.bettyblocks.com/ - Existing links and bookmarks will continue to work via automatic redirects.
- For newly shared or saved links, users should update bookmarks to the new URL structure.
- If a link does not resolve correctly, users can always access their application via My Betty Blocks.
- The migration will be executed during a scheduled maintenance window per zone.
Timeframe: February 2026
2. Extended refresh token lifetime
Value: Reduces login interruptions by keeping users authenticated for longer periods, improving productivity during extended working sessions.
Impact
- The refresh token lifetime will be extended from 24 hours to 30 days.
- Applications will be able to refresh access tokens for a longer period without requiring users to log in again.
- Existing security mechanisms remain unchanged.
- No action is required from customers to benefit from this improvement.
Timeframe: February 2026
3. Passwordless login using magic links
Value: Simplifies authentication by allowing users to log in or register without a password, reducing friction and improving accessibility.
Impact
- A new “login via magic link” option will be available.
- Users can request a secure login link via email and access the platform directly through that link.
- Magic link authentication cannot be enabled for users who authenticate via SSO.
- No changes are required for existing passwords or SSO-based login flows unless customers choose to enable this option.
