What’s New

Craft 5.7

Copy-and-paste elements

Entries and addresses now have “Copy” actions, which opens a special notification that keeps track of the copied elements, as you navigate to a section or field where the elements should be pasted.

Duplicate nested elements

Nested elements within Matrix and Addresses fields now have a “Duplicate” action that creates a clone of the element right alongside it within the field.

Element UI improvements

Element chips, cards, and inline-editable blocks have been redesigned for improved accessibility and to be more consistent with each other.

Read-only fields

Custom fields now have “editability conditions” which determine who can edit them, and who can only view them as read-only inputs.

Button Group fields

A new “Button Group” field type has been added, providing a more compact, user-friendly alternative to radio buttons.

Icons and colors

Checkboxes, Dropdown, Multi-select, and Radio Buttons fields can now specify icons and/or colors for each of their options, which will be shown alongside options’ text labels.
