April 2026

12 Commits • 2 Features

Apr 1, 2026

April 2026 delivered two major features in open-formulieren/open-forms, focusing on reliability and developer productivity. UI Visibility Improvements stabilized visibility processing by treating components_to_ignore_hidden as a set and removing the redundant ignore_hidden_property argument, delivering more predictable behavior across EditGrid, Columns, and Fieldset. JSON Logic Evaluation Enhancements and Robustness broadened support for complex rule shapes, added self-referential cycle handling, introduced a permissive mode to avoid hard crashes on invalid expressions, and expanded test coverage and typing improvements for maykin-json-logic-py. Additional quality work included regression tests, updated tests to align with new evaluation rules, and a submodule pin for shared tests. Overall impact: reduced user-visible inconsistencies, fewer runtime crashes, and a more maintainable, scalable form engine. Technologies used: Python, JSON logic, enhanced testing infrastructure, typing improvements, and CI automation.

Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 (2026-02) monthly summary for open-forms. Focus areas included reliability of the form logic engine, data quality, performance, and internationalization. The team delivered significant enhancements to the logic evaluation path, improved export consistency, and tightened governance around deprecated APIs, resulting in tangible business value for form builders and data consumers. Key features delivered: - Form logic evaluation and hidden-field handling improvements: introduced partial JSON logic evaluation, nested variable handling, and improved rendering behavior for hidden components. Regression tests were added to cover evaluation, submission retention, and admin rule initialization. Notable commits include 82f40d16 and 4d2607b7, with test coverage in 12018d6e. - Performance optimization of form rules retrieval: prefetch related data to reduce DB queries when updating rules and listing available rules, improving responsiveness in admin workflows (commit 76b16f0c). - Translations and i18n workflow enhancements: updates to translation files and extraction workflow to streamline internationalization (commits fc5943c7, 26882c4f, bd9a9fde). - Data export consistency improvements: exports now include empty strings for fields that were not submitted, improving data integrity (commit d14f2cd4). - Deprecation warnings and migration guidance: added warnings for old Submission APIs to guide users toward the new migration path (commit d051647f). Major bugs fixed: - Critical fixes to logic evaluation and rule application: resolved issues where logic rules were not applied properly with new evaluation, fixed handling of chained/hidden fields, and addressed crashes when creating new logic rules (commits 0c54856a, 0c5e4feb, 3e9c42fa, c6a9e018, f9801469). - Tests and stability: updated failing tests and added regression tests for key scenarios (commits 9c11669c, a9cc4450, eb5c6f55, bcdcb046). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased reliability of form processing, with robust handling of nested logic and hidden fields, resulting in fewer backend surprises for form designers. - Faster admin operations for rules management through data prefetching, and improved export integrity for data consumers. - Clear path for migration away from deprecated APIs and streamlined internationalization workflow. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python/Django and JSON logic evaluation, regression testing, test parametrization, and test-driven improvements. - DB performance optimization (prefetching) and careful handling of submission data edge cases (hidden/clearOnHide). - Internationalization workflows (i18n extraction and translations), code quality improvements (type hints, PR feedback), and process governance for API deprecations.

Jan 1, 2026

January 2026 monthly summary for open-formulieren/open-forms Key features delivered: - Disable Next logic for form steps: added a new form-step UUID field, a resolve_key routine for nested data access, accompanying tests, and a migration/detection script to populate existing actions. This enables per-step execution of logic rules and aligns with per-step UI/UX expectations. ({#5861}) - Prefill data refactor and date component changes: removed the normalizer, moved prefill handling to the form state, and refactored saving/prefilling of prefill variables; updated tests and regression validations. ({#5902}) - Logic rule analysis and dependency graphs: introduced step resolution, logic-rule/action analysis, and a dependency-graph framework; enhanced serializer to surface form steps for logic rules; added a feature flag for safe rollout. ({#2409}) - Input-variable step coverage: implemented assigning all steps of input variables when step resolution is ambiguous, improving correctness of rule evaluation. ({#2409}) Major bugs fixed: - Regression tests and stability fixes: added regression tests for #5893 and #5888; fixed date-related field handling and test stability; corrected empty/None value handling for date fields (#5888). Also fixed registration attributes with dots and nested FormioData item deletions (#5892). - Appointment product amount attribute fix for #5893. - Reversion of unintended changes from feedback processing to maintain stable baseline. ({#5696, #5892}) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved reliability and maintainability of multi-step forms through per-step logic execution and robust data handling. - Enhanced test coverage and regression resilience across core features (prefill, logic rules, and form steps), reducing risk of future defects. - Prepared the platform for safer feature rollout with a logic-rule analysis feature flag and explicit step-context exposure in serializers. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Python data modeling and FormioData handling; nested-key access and state-driven prefill management. - Graph analysis concepts via dependency graphs and topological-like ordering for logic rules; use of tooling dependencies (networkx) for future graph work. - Code quality improvements: type hints, serializer/refactor patterns, and migration/detection tooling for schema updates. - Comprehensive regression testing and test-driven refinements across UX/business-critical flows.
