Forms 2 - Breaking changes
3 min
Note Optimizely Forms is supported by MVC-based websites only.
Some changes are binary breaking but do not necessarily require code changes but rather just a project recompilation.
- AFORM-455 Forms.DLL is now signed.
- AFORM-540 Actor can now run sync or async with the submission process. With sync-Actor, a developer can modify the response return to the Visitor. See also Implement a customized Actor.
- AFORM-551 Autofill API
- Introduce IAutofillProvider and AutofillService.
- Change IFormElement.GetDefaultValue().
- AFORM-472] The intention of RichTextWithPlaceholder is Recall field value in previous-step. With this feature, RichTextWithPlaceholder element works like a normal XHTML block (even when no placeholder exists).
- AFORM-418 Progressive Profiling for Forms BETA.
- AFORM-480 Built-in Submit button now has a Progressive Profiling feature.
- AFORM-526 Option to not load the default style sheet (EPiServerForms.css).
API changes
Changed
- IFormElement interface has a method: IFormElement.GetDefaultValue().
- AFORM-533 IPostSubmissionActor interface has properties to provide information about Field mapping to external systems.
- Actor can be sync or async
- Only sync-actor can have/modify the ResponseBase object
- If a third-party developer uses PostSubmissionActorBase, their class is not affected.
- AFORM-534 Feed API should be for internal use only.
- AFORM-541 Renamed IElementTittle to IElementTitle, (fixing a typographical error in naming).
- AFORM-488 Refactored static functions of validation, moved to ValidationService.
Marked as obsolete
- Method of FormsExtensions should be treated as Internal use only. They are helper functions and are not critical to providing services to third-party developers.
