Native Custom Fields – Custom Content Types and Meta Fields

Changelog

1.4.0

• Added: The combobox field now searches server side when its options come from a dynamic token. What is typed in the field is sent to the REST API as the search argument, so collections larger than a single REST response stay fully reachable. Previously the typed text only filtered the records that had already been fetched.
• Added: The record matching a stored value is now fetched on its own, so a saved selection keeps its label even when it is not part of the current option list or search results.
• Fixed: A per_page above 100, or -1, made the whole request fail with rest_invalid_param and the field rendered no options at all. Such values are now capped at the REST maximum of 100, and per_page=all is accepted as a spelling of the same thing.
• Fixed: {{menus}} raised a TypeError on any navigation menu without a title.
• Fixed: Combining several dynamic tokens could list the same record more than once.
• Removed: The {{roles}} token from the options help text and the documentation. It was never implemented and always resolved to an empty list.
• Updated: The help text of the options field, which now documents the {{posts?type=slug}} pattern for querying a custom post type. That pattern was supported but undocumented, so there was no way to populate a field from a custom post type without reading the source. The text is also grouped into sections and rendered with its line breaks intact.
• Updated: Corrected two wrong parameter examples in the options help text: the users endpoint takes roles (plural, role slugs) rather than role, and author takes a user ID rather than a login name.
• Added: A „Dynamic Options“ documentation page covering the available tokens, their parameters, the REST item limits, and server-side search. Select, radio, combobox, toggle group and token field documentation now links to it.
• Updated: Token field documentation now states that suggestions is a literal list and does not support the {{token}} syntax.

1.3.9

• Added: Sub-fields for repeater and group fields can now be defined through the field abilities (save-post-meta-fields, save-term-meta-fields, save-user-meta-fields, save-options-page-fields) using the new fields property on a field definition. Up to two levels of nesting are supported. Previously only the container field could be created and its contents had to be added in the field builder.
• Updated: Aligned the editor controls with the WordPress 7.1 component changes, so no deprecation notices are logged on 7.1.
• Removed: The „Size“ option from the border, border box and font size field settings. The underlying size prop is deprecated and has no effect as of WordPress 7.1. A value stored by an earlier version is now ignored instead of being passed to the control.
• Removed: The „Large“ (__unstable-large) choice from the input field „Size“ setting. The remaining choices are default, small and compact.
• Removed: The __next40pxDefaultSize prop from every control. The 40px default height rollout is complete in WordPress 7.1 and the prop no longer has any effect.
• Updated: Border, border box, font size and input control documentation to match the available settings.
• Added: Missing „Requires at least“ header in readme.txt and the plugin file. The plugin already assumed WordPress 7.0 as its minimum, but neither header declared it.

1.3.8

• Added: Missing „Tested up to: 7.1“ tag in readme.txt

1.3.7

• Bumped WordPress tested-up-to version 7.1

1.3.6

Fixed: Repeater, group, file and multiple select fields were registered with the wrong meta type, so register_meta raised a „you must specify the schema for each array item“ notice and dropped the meta from the REST API.
Fixed: The native_custom_fields_register_post_meta_type and native_custom_fields_register_term_meta_type filters received the meta key instead of the meta type as their filtered value.
Added: Array and object meta are now registered with a REST schema generated from the field configuration.
Updated: Hooks documentation now describes how the meta type is derived and when a custom schema is required.

1.3.5

Fixed: Repeater default values were not rendered on options pages until the section was reset.
Fixed: „Reset All“ on an options page cleared repeater defaults instead of restoring them.
Fixed: Array defaults were flattened to an empty string for fields registered through the Abilities API.
Updated: Repeater control documentation now covers the default parameter.

1.3.4

Fixed: Post type archive did not work when „Has Archive“ was enabled without a custom archive slug.
Fixed: Query var fell back incorrectly when no custom query var slug was provided.
Fixed: Endpoint mask normalization broke post types registered with rewrite disabled.
Updated: Post type template field now documents the correct block array format.

Fixed: Missing required field controls in Post Meta, Term Meta, User Meta and TreView forms.
