Changelogs

Core Forms 4.9.2 fixes field editing, rendering, and validation across the builder and front end.

• Code and Visual mode preserve radio and checkbox groups, selected values, empty placeholders, option groups, nested layouts, helper HTML, descriptions, and custom attributes through repeated edits and saves.
• Saving immediately after editing HTML keeps the latest fields. Duplicating or renaming nested fields updates their internal references and avoids duplicate choice values.
• Name, Address, Rating, submit, and reset fields render usable controls. Named submit buttons retain their values in AJAX submissions.
• Conditional fields support both colon and equals rules, checkbox dependencies, multiple conditions, and hidden required controls.
• Required checkbox groups validate correctly when advancing multi-step forms. Inline validation preserves help text and recognizes selected radio groups.
• Server validation checks field types, allowed choices, numeric and date limits, step values, and multiple email addresses while accepting zero as a valid value.
• Calculated fields recognize both supported calculation attributes, and character counters load when their attribute is present.
• Field and option settings have associated labels and retain explicit checked and selected defaults.

Validated with 385 PHP tests, 14 JavaScript regression tests, static analysis, and live audit forms on gauravtiwari.org.
