Bug Fixes

Arrays in Rich Text Uploads

Fixed an issue with arrays in rich text uploads that was causing problems with content management. This fix ensures that array fields within rich text editors work correctly when handling uploads, preventing potential data loss or corruption.

Mutation Type with Tabs

Dark Mode Color Variables

Corrected out-of-order dark mode color variables that were causing inconsistent styling in dark mode. This fix ensures that the dark mode theme is applied correctly and consistently throughout the admin interface.

Impact Summary

This release focuses on bug fixes that improve stability and user experience in PayloadCMS. The fixes address issues with rich text uploads containing arrays, tab data preservation during mutations, and dark mode styling consistency.

Additionally, the documentation has been enhanced with information about minRow and maxRow properties for array and blocks pages, as well as custom select examples with video tutorials.

While these changes might seem minor, they significantly improve the reliability of content editing workflows, especially for complex content structures using tabs and rich text fields with uploads. The dark mode color variable fix ensures a more consistent visual experience for users who prefer the dark theme.
