January 2026 (dotCMS/core) focused on delivering the Style Editor: Contentlet Style Properties Management feature with feature-flag gating, cross-API support (PageAPI, GraphQL, REST), and frontend/backend alignment. The work established a unified approach to manage contentlet style properties, introduced a top-level GraphQL field for styleProperties, aligned naming to dotStyleProperties, and added a REST endpoint with containerId handling. Documentation updates and testing were expanded to support the new capability. The rollout included stability safeguards via a rollback of an unstable path during integration, ensuring reliability while enabling progressive enhancement.
