Changelog

Auto Form Builder ships new features every month. Here's what's changed.

Version 1.4.4

  • New: UK Mobile format for the Phone field — validates UK mobile numbers in domestic (07700 900123) and international (+44 7700 900123 or 0044 7700 900123) formats, with optional format-as-you-type. Existing phone fields and other formats are unchanged.
  • New: "Minimum Days From Today" option for the Date field — require the selected date to be at least a set number of days after today (e.g. 3), enforced in the browser and on the server. If a fixed First Allowed Date is also set, the later of the two applies. Existing date fields are unchanged.
  • Improved: The Month & Year (calendar) and Time (clock) field icons now sit on the left, matching the inside-the-field icons for a consistent look across all fields (with right-hand placement kept for RTL sites).
  • New: Inside-the-field icon support for the Drop-down field — show a built-in or uploaded icon at the start of the dropdown, matching the other fields. Dropdowns without an icon are unchanged.
  • New: Auto-fill field values with conditional logic — automatically set a Text, Textarea, Number, Email, Phone, or URL field to a fixed value or copy another field's value when your conditions are met. If the visitor edits the field their input is kept, and an auto-filled value is cleared again if the conditions stop matching. Works independently of the existing Show/Hide rules, so a field can use either or both.

Version 1.4.3

  • New: Month & Year field — collect month/year with an easy custom picker (year arrows and a single month grid), or year only with a year dropdown. Works with conditional logic, entry details, admin/user email notifications, URL prefill, AI form builder defaults, and AI Conversation forms. Existing Date fields are unchanged.
  • New: "Block Future Dates" option for the Month & Year field, so answers cannot be later than the current month or year — ideal for questions like "When was your business established?". Combine it with the Earliest Month/Year setting to bound both ends.
  • New: Save your Customize design as a reusable theme, then apply it to your other forms with one click. Saved themes live in the Customize → Theme panel; existing forms and themes are unchanged.
  • New: Label icons — add an icon next to any field label from a built-in library of 40+ icons, or upload your own PNG/JPG. Control the icon color, optional background chip, and size per field. Fields without an icon are completely unchanged.
  • New: Inside-the-field icons — show an icon at the start of Text, Email, Number, Phone and URL fields, separated from the value by a divider. Choose a built-in icon or a PNG/JPG and set its color, background and size. Fields without an icon are completely unchanged.
  • New: Popups — show any form in a popup without installing a second plugin. Create unlimited popups (modal, slide-in, sticky bar, full-screen, welcome mat, floating launcher), pick the pages they appear on, trigger them by time, scroll, exit intent, clicks and more, cap how often they show, and choose what happens after a successful submission. Fully keyboard accessible, loads nothing on pages without an eligible popup.
  • Improved: The Popups editor now warns you about unsaved changes before you close it or leave the page, so popup edits are no longer lost by accident.

Version 1.4.2

  • Fixed: Name field with separate parts now labels each part correctly (e.g. "First Name" and "Last Name") in the submission details, email notifications, and stored entries, instead of showing "Name" twice.
  • Fixed: When only First Name and/or Last Name are marked required, the required asterisk now appears next to those parts.
  • Fixed: The required asterisk no longer appears on every individual radio button or checkbox option — it now shows only on the field's own label.

Version 1.4.1

  • New: URL prefill for individual Name and Address components — First, Middle, Last and Suffix, plus Company/Organization, Address Line 1 and 2, City, State/Province/Region and ZIP/Postal Code can each read their own URL parameter, so composite fields can be pre-populated from a link without workarounds.
  • New: AI Assistant and AI Conversation are now active by default on fresh installs, and are enabled once on upgrade for existing sites. If you deactivate either, it stays off.
  • New: "Build with AI" now always appears in the "Create a new form" dialog. When the AI Assistant is inactive it guides you to activate it, and when it is active but not yet connected it guides you to connect AIDA.
  • New: Dismissible dashboard and Add-Ons prompts that walk you through activating the free AI features and then connecting AIDA, so the AI features are easy to discover.
  • New: Export / Import button on the Submissions and Partial Entries screens that links straight to the CSV export and import tools.
  • Fixed: URL-prefilled dropdowns (including searchable dropdowns) now fire the same change event as a manual selection, so conditional logic evaluates on page load and dependent fields show or hide correctly.

Version 1.4.0(2026-08-06)

  • New: AI Assistant (optional, off by default) — connect a free AIDA account to bring AI to your forms:
  • Build a form with AI from a plain-English description.
  • Document-to-form — upload a document and turn it into a ready-to-edit form.
  • Automatic conditional logic generation as part of AI form building.
  • One-click submission summaries and AI-drafted replies.
  • "Ask across your submissions" — answer questions spanning all entries of a form.
  • Admin AI chat assistant — a built-in assistant that answers questions about your forms and submissions and can create new forms for you.
  • New: AI Conversation (now built-in, optional, off by default) — turn any form into a friendly conversational form: an AI chat that collects answers naturally, with optional appointment booking via Auto Form CRM.
  • New: AIDA credits — a single shared credit balance that powers both AI features, always visible in the plugin. New accounts start with free trial credits; afterward, top up with one-time credit packs purchased on autoformcrm.com in a new tab (no payment ever happens inside the plugin).
  • Note: The core drag-and-drop form builder and all non-AI features remain completely free and never require an account. The AI features are opt-in and connect to AIDA only after you enable one.

Version 1.3.1

  • New: Per-component Required checkboxes on the Address field for Address Line 2, State/Province/Region, ZIP/Postal Code, Country, and Company/Organization — each appears under its component in Advanced Settings and can be toggled independently.
  • Improved: Marking the Address field itself Required now automatically requires the two always-rendered core components (Address Line 1 and City), so a required address can no longer be submitted empty.
  • Improved: Address country component — when the country is shown and Required, no default country is silently preselected (visitors must choose explicitly), and Hide Country never bypasses a shown, required country.
  • Improved: Address renderer skips the Required flag for any component that is hidden, so a "required" toggle on a disabled component never blocks submission.
  • Fixed: Conditional logic now works in every copy of a form on the page, including page-builder popups (Brizy, Elementor, WP Bakery, etc.) that clone or lazy-inject form markup.
  • Fixed: Multi-step forms now correctly hide inactive steps even when a site serves a stale cached stylesheet.
  • Fixed: Required Name field with separate parts now validates correctly.
  • Fixed: Required Address field now validates the submitted address components correctly.
  • Fixed: Required radio groups are enforced even when a page builder strips the native required attribute from the inputs.
  • Fixed: Address subfield validation preserves the camelCase keys addressLine1 / addressLine2 so per-component labels and Required rules resolve correctly on submit.
  • Improved: conditional-logic.js and multistep.js are now versioned by file modification time, so browser and CDN caches automatically pick up future frontend script fixes.
