1.4.6 Details

  • New: Repeater prop groups for components — toggle any group prop into a repeater to loop over its items inside the component. When using the component, add, remove, and populate as many entries as needed, each following the prop definitions of the group.
  • New: ACF post object and relationship fields now respect the return format configured in ACF, returning IDs when set to “ID” instead of always expanding to full objects. Behind the RESPECT_ACF_RETURN_FORMAT feature flag.
  • New: Paste behavior setting — choose whether to overwrite or preserve existing styles and components on collision (ETC-540)
  • Improvement: Builder initial load time reduced by lazy-loading post/template data (ETC-515)
  • Improvement: Parent JavaScript now automatically reloads when child elements are added, removing the need to refresh the page (ETC-538)
  • Improvement: CSS editor warns about unbalanced curly braces before saving (ETC-532)
  • Fix: Attributes containing @, :, or . characters (e.g. Alpine.js @click, :class, x-on:keydown.enter) are no longer stripped on the frontend (ETC-550)
  • Fix: Components with groups no longer cause errors when adding classes to parent elements (ETC-541)
  • Fix: Component instance prop values now paste correctly (ETC-539)
  • Fix: Recently added styles no longer disappear due to a race condition when pasting in the HTML editor (ETC-534)
