Improvements
Dynamic content improvements for Simple Edit
Several improvements have been made to the Simple Edit functionality in Matrix to support more dynamic content rendering while editing a page using the default /_edit interface.
Dynamic content rendered via ./?a= links, Matrix Keywords, and Server Side JS, will now all be processed in Simple Edit mode.
This enables more features for developers when creating and customising editing interfaces using the Simple Edit Layout asset. It also improves the inline-editing capabilities when editing content on a page using the default /_edit interface as any dynamic content and keywords found in the Design file will still be rendered in that mode.
User preference for toggling frontend error reporting
A new User Preference has been added that lets you control whether to see Matrix errors and warnings appear on the frontend or not.
Previously this setting could only be toggled at a system-wide level, which meant that is was mainly only enabled when there were no live websites in the Matrix system.
By moving this setting to a User Preference, you can now safely enable frontend error reporting without having it affected for any other users visiting and interacting with any sites in your Matrix instance.
Form Contents UI improvement
The UI of the Form Contents asset has been improved by splitting the editing of a form's settings and fields into separate screens.
Previously, all of the settings and form fields of a form were edited on a single big screen, making it hard to navigate and overwhelming to edit. Now, all of the settings of a form has been moved to the Details screen and the field and section editing left on the Form Contents screen.
| Details Screen | Form Contents Screen |
