3.0.0-beta1

🎉 Custom Fields 3.0.0-beta1

This is the first beta release of Custom Fields 3.x, introducing powerful new features for multi-value fields, enhanced validation, and improved UI flexibility.

✨ New Features

Multi-Value Field Support

• Email & Link Fields: Both field types now support multiple values using an intuitive tags input interface
• Validation: Added defaultItemValidationRules() for validating individual items in multi-value fields
• Migration Command: New php artisan custom-fields:migrate-email-values command to migrate existing email field values to the new array format
• Smart Defaults: Automatically sets max_values when enabling the allow_multiple toggle

Unique Constraint Enhancements

• Unique Per Entity Type: New option to enforce field uniqueness per entity type rather than globally
• Smart Availability: Unique constraint option now only appears for applicable field types (text, email, number, etc.)
• Improved Validation: Enhanced unique validation with proper entity type morph alias resolution

Flat Field Layout Mode

• New Feature Flag: UI_FLAT_FIELD_LAYOUT - disable sections entirely for a simplified single-page field management experience
• Hidden Default Section: When enabled, the default section is automatically hidden
• Consistent Rendering: Flat layout respected across forms, infolists, and the management interface

Auto-Generated Field Codes

• Automatically generate field codes from field names for faster field creation
• Reduces manual work when creating new custom fields

Enhanced Email Fields

• Searchable: Email fields now support searchable capability for better table filtering

🚀 Improvements

Type Safety & Code Quality

UI/UX Enhancements

• Dark Mode: Full dark mode support with proper styling for empty states

Architecture Improvements

• Extracted shared field management methods into ManagesFields trait
• Extracted field creation logic into CreatesCustomFields trait
• New DefaultSectionService for managing default section behavior
• Better separation of concerns in Livewire components

🐛 Bug Fixes

• ULID Compatibility: Fixed support for both string and integer entity IDs to work with ULID primary keys
• Morph Alias Resolution: Deferred morph alias resolution until runtime to prevent boot-time errors
• Section Display: Corrected field visibility when sections are disabled
• Flat Layout Rendering: Proper respect for flat layout feature flag in form and infolist builders

🔧 Refactoring & Cleanup

• Removed redundant isMultiValueField() method
• Removed unused MigrateEmailFieldValuesCommand from service provider after moving to custom-fields namespace
• Removed unused getTypeSettings() method
• Cleaned up unused imports and variables
• Improved code organization with better trait extraction
