Form Plugin v5.1.0 : prepare_form_fields()

Support Forms & Blueprints
,
#1

Can I confirm that since v5.1.0 enforces the requirement of all fields to have a “name” field even if logically they don’t require them, fields such as spacer.

I think it’s in the new prepare_form_fields()

If I don’t include a name field they don’t render, took a while to figure out what was going on.

@adrianw, It sure looks like that…

classes/TwigExtensions.php: lines 83-87

/ Make sure that the field has a name.
$name = $name ?? $field['name'] ?? null;
if (!is_string($name) || $name === '') {
    return null;
}

You might consider creating an issue stating this is a breaking change.

thanks for looking at thing @pamtbaau . I will raise it, I just wanted to be sure I hadn’t fallen into a different trap or was doing something wrong in the first place.

@adrianw, To the benefit of the community, it will be appreciated if you could share the link to the issue and report back any conclusions.

#5

The issue was raised

It has been confirmed as a Bug, and a fix has been created (which I have successfully tested locally).

I imagine that it will be included in the next plugin release.
