Formidable Forms

• New: A pop up will trigger when a duplicate option value is added to the list of options to help avoid issues with accidental duplicate option values getting added to a field.
• Fix: Prevent a null JavaScript error on some forms related to floating labels.
• Updated pop up styling for a more consistent design.

• New: Autocomplete dropdowns in the back end will now include an aria-label on the options to avoid accessibility issues with screen readers only reading ID values.
• New: A redirect will now happen after a form is duplicated to avoid issues with multiple duplicate actions on page refresh.
• New: Added additional styling for repeaters in tables shown in email actions to show indentation for the repeated data.
• New: Added a Save and Reload button that appears after installing a required add on when clicking a field with missing requirements from the form builder.
• Fix: The aria-describedby attribute will now be ordered intentionally so errors get first priority by default. Checks have been added to avoid duplicate ids appearing in aria-describedby attributes as well.
• Fix: A few issues with label position settings were introduced with last update that are now fixed. Labels were appearing when the "none" label position setting was set.
• Fix: Automation settings were appearing for action types that don't support automation when the Form Action Automation add on wasn't active.
• Fix: Fixed a caching conflict that would cause back end pages to break on some servers with an frmDom is not defined console error.
• Fix: Labels were appearing overlapped over input fields when previewed from the style manager for styles with the inline label position setting.
• Updated the icon for Zapier.

• New: Fields using the "Placeholder inside the field" Label Position setting will now use an animated label that moves to the top of the field when focused.
• New: Added a new frm_after_destroy_entry filter that can be used to update caching after a Formidable entry is deleted.
• Fix: An unexpected empty broken application template was appearing for expired licenses.

• The option to check entries for spam using JavaScript is now on by default for all new forms. We recommend turning this on for older forms that may be receiving spam entries, especially forms that include file uploads. After turning this feature on, make sure to also clear any caching plugins to avoid issues with cached pages with missing tokens.
• New: Pre-determined option data will no longer be sent to Akismet to help reduce the number of false positive results.
• Fix: Significantly reduced the amount of memory required to load form settings for websites with fewer than 50 pages with a lot of data.
• Fix: Author email, url, or name are no longer included in comment info when sending data to Akismet so that duplicate information is not sent.
• Fix: Field groups could not be moved because of a missing class on the drag handle.

• Deprecated: Calls to FrmFormsController::preview will no longer try to load WordPress if it is not already initialized. This could cause issues for users that still use old preview links (see https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/php-examples/#kb-use-the-old-preview-links for an example).
• Security: Unsafe HTML will now be stripped from global message defaults, whitelabel settings, and when importing forms and fields with XML if the user saving HTML does not have the unfiltered_html permission or if the DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML constant is set.
• Updated Bootstrap used in back end to version 3.4.1.
• A few images that were being loaded from S3 and CDN urls are now included in the plugin instead.

• Security: Unsafe HTML will now be stripped from field labels, descriptions, and custom HTML, as well as form titles, descriptions, custom submit text, custom submit HTML, before HTML, after HTML, and success message if the user saving HTML does not have the unfiltered_html permission or if the DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML constant is set.
• New: Added new frm_akismet_values filter to help improve Akismet integration.
• Fix: The Akismet API was getting called if Akismet was set up even if the form had Akismet turned off.
• Fix: Updated the styling when a field option is being dragged and dropped.

• New: Added new frm_export_csv_headings filter to make it easier to add and remove exported CSV headings.
• New: When clicking an inactive action that requires pro, the required pro license will be properly shown in the popup.
• New: Added new frm_fields_to_validate, frm_submit_button_html, and frm_fields_for_csv_export filters.
• Fix: Improved the accessibility of field group dropdowns and field group row layout pop ups.
• Fix: The caret icon on the dropdown was not positioned properly for the Formidable Gutenberg block.
• Fix: When clicking the Formidable media button in Elementor, the pop up was appearing as empty with no content.
• Fix: Required radio, checkbox, and name fields were not including the aria-required="true" attribute or the aria-invalid attribute when JavaScript validation was enabled.
• Fix: Required name fields were not showing error messages when JavaScript validation was enabled.

• Deprecated the option to disable CSS Grids in form layouts.
• Fix: JavaScript validation was failing to validate for many fields with custom patterns because extra conflicting HTML was sometimes being added to the check.
• Fix: Field dropdowns are now more accessible and it should be easier to delete and duplicate fields with a screen reader.
• Fix: Updated form padding on admin page so forms with custom padding don't appear small in the back end.

• New: Custom HTML for errors is now also applied when validating with JavaScript.
• New: Added a button to quickly save and reload after activating a new plugin from the settings page.
