JavaScript API (App)
You can now show or hide the "Add row" and "Delete this row" buttons in "Table" fields, and retrieve their display state

You can now use the JavaScript API to show or hide the "Add row" and "Delete this row" buttons that appear in "Table" fields on record creation and editing screens, as well as retrieve their current display state. This lets you hide kintone's standard buttons for adding and deleting rows and customize table functionality to suit your needs.

Show or hide the "Add row" button on a "Table" field:
Show or hide the "Add row" button (desktop)	kintone.app.record.showAddTableRowButtons()
Show or hide the "Add row" button (mobile)	kintone.mobile.app.record.showAddTableRowButtons()

Show or hide the "Delete this row" button on a "Table" field:
Show or hide the "Delete this row" button (desktop)	kintone.app.record.showDeleteTableRowButtons()
Show or hide the "Delete this row" button (mobile)	kintone.mobile.app.record.showDeleteTableRowButtons()

Retrieve the display state of the "Add row" button on a "Table" field:
Retrieve the display state of the "Add row" button (desktop)	kintone.app.record.getAddTableRowButtonsDisplayState()
Retrieve the display state of the "Add row" button (mobile)	kintone.mobile.app.record.getAddTableRowButtonsDisplayState()

Retrieve the display state of the "Delete this row" button on a "Table" field:
Retrieve the display state of the "Delete this row" button (desktop)	kintone.app.record.getDeleteTableRowButtonsDisplayState()
Retrieve the display state of the "Delete this row" button (mobile)	kintone.mobile.app.record.getDeleteTableRowButtonsDisplayState()

New features under consideration

Here are the features we're currently considering.
You can try them out by enabling them on the Update options screen in kintone administration.

Platform	Further improvements: - Front-end infrastructure update (space and thread screens)
REST APIs	The API for searching across kintone now supports searches that include related terms

* Note that features under consideration may have their specifications changed, or be added to or removed from the "Update options" screen, at any time — not only during regular maintenance.

Platform
Further improvements:
- Front-end infrastructure update (space and thread screens)

We've been continuously improving the "front-end infrastructure renewed for the Space and Thread screens," offered as a feature under consideration since June 2026, and this article covers what's changed since its release.

Improvements to the rich text editor's display and usability

The rich text editor in a thread's post field

We've fixed an issue where copying and pasting inserted extra blank lines, and improved how table width and mentions to recipients are displayed.

Improved usability for image slideshows

Slideshow display for images attached to a thread

We've improved the display and feel of paging through images, zooming in, and dragging around a zoomed image.

Improved mobile display

We've improved the display of headings and other elements, and fixed an issue where attached images couldn't be downloaded.

We've also made a number of other improvements since release.

Posting and display

Long text no longer breaks the layout — you can now scroll horizontally to read it comfortably.
Fixed an issue where posts opened from a notification would appear twice
Prevented accidental double-posting caused by misclicking the "Post" button

Images and files

Faster loading for threads with a lot of images
Links set on an image now support "Open in new tab"
Fixed heading sizes changing unexpectedly when content is copied over using a thread action

Keyboard and assistive technology

Screen readers can now read mention suggestions aloud
Improved focus movement with the Tab key, and focus handling when editing alt text
The thread list now opens in a new tab with Ctrl+click (Command+click)

REST APIs
The API for searching across kintone now supports searches that include related terms

The all-contents search API, offered as a feature under consideration, can now search for related terms alongside your keyword (different spellings, abbreviations, synonyms, and so on). For example, searching for "complaint" will now also return records containing "claim."

REST API for searching with related words included:
All-contents search API	[POST]	/k/v1/search.json

This also helps generative AI search data recorded in many different ways — free-text survey answers, for example — and it works with all-contents search from the kintone MCP server too.
You can combine it with other search conditions, like sorting by relevance or specifying which apps and spaces to search.
We'll keep working on ways to improve and expand search conditions and results.

* This covers general terms only. It doesn't support organization-specific rewording such as product names or internal abbreviations.

* For details, refer to the Developer Network.
