14.2.0-rc1 October 25th 2024

Multi-step forms

The 14.2 release of Forms contains features that can improve the user experience of completing multi-page forms.

We have added the option for editors to choose to display paging details on the forms. This will allow those completing forms to get a better understanding of progress as well as see details of the pages still to be completed. #281 #648.

These options are enabled and configured by editors in the Forms settings section on a per-form basis. We also provide a configuration-based toggle for the feature as a whole. In this way, editors can be given access to use the feature only once the styling or theme is prepared.

Form picker enhancements

Another improvement is found in the form picker property editors. We now support restriction of which forms can be selected by folder rather than only by individual forms.

A second "form details picker" is also available, allowing editors the option of selecting the form, theme and redirect via a single property editor.

Ship themes in Razor Class Libraries

Forms ships it's themes and email templates as part of a razor class library for ease of distribution. With this release we make that feature available to your own custom themes and templates (or those created by package developers) #795.

Date picker field type

We have made a couple of updates to the Date Picker field type. The format for the field can now be provided in configuration #1276. And you can now override and localize the aria label provided for assistive technologies such as screen readers #1082.

Umbraco documents prevalue source type

When creating a prevalue source based on Umbraco documents, you can now select custom properties for the value or caption. Previously you had a choice of the content item's Id, Key or Name. We've extended this to allow the selection of any properties defined on the selected Document Type #1195.

Finer grained entries permissions

To allow finer control over editor permissions, we have introduced a "delete entries" setting for users and user groups. Thus you can now give editors explicit permissions to view, edit, or delete entries #1303.

Backoffice localization

Finally thanks to a kind contribution from Erik-Jan Westendorp the backoffice is now translated into Dutch #1264.
