Bug Fixes

Fixed hasMany relationships in field state promises

The primary fix in this release addresses an issue with hasMany relationships when used within the addFieldStatePromise functionality. Previously, these relationships weren't being handled correctly, which could lead to unexpected behavior when field states depended on hasMany relationship values. This has been corrected in PR #3300.

Eliminated console errors for checkboxes

This release also fixes console errors that were appearing when using checkbox fields. These errors, while not affecting functionality, were cluttering developer consoles and have now been resolved in PR #3291.

New Features

No new features were added in this release. This is a maintenance release focused on bug fixes.

Security Updates

No security fixes were included in this release.

Performance Improvements

No specific performance improvements were included in this release. The changes were focused on bug fixes and error resolution.

Impact Summary

This release has a low to moderate impact, primarily affecting developers who use hasMany relationships with field state promises or who have been experiencing console errors with checkbox fields. The changes are non-breaking and focused on fixing specific issues rather than introducing new functionality.

The hasMany relationship fix ensures that field state promises work correctly with these relationship types, which is important for forms that rely on relationship field values to determine the state of other fields.

The checkbox console error fix is more of a quality-of-life improvement for developers, eliminating unnecessary warnings that could make it harder to spot actual issues in the console.
