I'm currently converting one of our apps from 3 to 4.5. I'm doing it using the conversion facilities in F45, and then spending time (30mins to a day or so) making sure it works as expected in a GUI environment.

The problem areas that I remember are key triggers - if you have a field which has specific validation you want done - no matter how the user leaves the field - you now have to handle the user clicking a mouse. ..I could go on - but your query was more general.

We briefly considered using a tool to convert the forms, but decided that the testing involved on the converted forms - we might as well do it ourselves.

I think the issue if anything is F45 or something else? A Web app is my favourite currently!
