Changelog 3B Forms v4.10

New Features

1. Implement HTML Field Selector
   • Description: Added a field selector in HTML fields to allow users to easily generate the desired mustache syntax for accessing object fields.
   • Impact: Streamlines the process of integrating HTML fields with object fields, enhancing user experience in form customization.
2. Object Fields Manager
   • Description: Introduced the Object Fields Manager to select "child" elements of a panel from a multi-select dropdown in the data mapping segment of panel settings.
   • Impact: Enhances the management and selection of fields in complex form structures, such as parent-child relationships and dynamic panels.

Bug Fixes

1. Display Toasts for Frontend Errors
   • Description: Fixed an issue where frontend errors were only displayed on top of the relevant question. Now, errors also show up as a toast when onSettingQuestionErrors triggers.
   • Impact: Enhances visibility of frontend errors and improves user experience in error handling.
2. Fix Rating Questions Not Auto-Adding Choices
   • Description: Resolved a bug where the builder did not auto-add choices for rating scale type questions, unlike dropdown and radio questions. This functionality is now fixed and operational.
   • Impact: Streamlines the process of setting up rating questions, aligning them with other question types for consistency.
3. Validators Enhancement
   • Description: Modified the code to ensure that validators work correctly even when not in an array format.
   • Impact: Broadens the flexibility and reliability of validators in various scenarios.
4. Calculated Values UI in Logic Settings
   • Description: Fixed a bug where the 'name' property was not showing up in Calculated Values (under Settings > Logic) when switching focus from other properties/fields. Added additional logic to manage the visibility of the 'name' property correctly.
   • Impact: Improves the user interface and interaction with Calculated Values in the Logic Settings, ensuring consistent visibility of important properties.
