Drodl: Custom Product Fields Changelog

We’ve just rolled out a cart and checkout improvement to make the shopping experience smoother and more intuitive for your customers.

• Products with add-ons or extra options will now appear as a single grouped item in the cart instead of separate line items.
• This creates a cleaner and more organized cart view, reducing confusion for customers.
• All pricing, including selected add-ons or upgrades, is now automatically calculated and clearly displayed within the grouped item.
• This update improves both user experience and store professionalism, with no setup required on your end.

Use cases to get the most from this feature:

• 💍Customized Products: If you sell personalized items (e.g., engraved jewelry, printed apparel), all customization options will now appear under the main product, keeping the cart tidy.
• 🛠️Service Upgrades: For stores offering additional services (e.g., extended warranties, gift wrapping, installation), these options will be neatly grouped with the product, giving customers a clearer view of what they’re buying.
• 🪑Build-Your-Own Sets | Bundle Products: If your store allows customers to configure a product bundle (e.g., furniture with fabric and color choices), the entire configuration will now show as one item in the cart.
• 🎁Gifting Options: Add-ons like gift notes, packaging, or premium delivery will be visually part of the main gift item, improving the perceived value and clarity for gift buyers.

This update helps you present a more polished, trustworthy cart experience—ultimately boosting buyer confidence and reducing drop-offs during checkout.

We’ve just released an important backend update to enhance how your store’s data is stored and protected—without changing the way you use the app.

• We’ve moved certain app data from shop-level metafields (which are publicly accessible) to app-level metafields, which are private and only accessible by the app itself.
• This change ensures that your data is now better protected and not exposed through public APIs, other installed apps and even your staff team members.
• The update is completely automatic—you don’t need to take any action or change your settings.
• All features of the app will continue to work exactly as before, but now with stronger data privacy behind the scenes.

This release includes a set of technical upgrades, performance improvements, and UX enhancements to make the app faster, more reliable, and easier to use—especially for stores with complex product configurations.

• Integrated the Mustache plugin to improve rendering speed and eliminate redundant logic, resulting in faster performance across the app.
• Optimized syncing of variant prices and inventory, especially for large option groups, improving accuracy and reducing sync time.
• Upgraded to the latest Shopify API version for improved stability and compatibility.
• Bugfix: Fixed an issue with the Classic Rating field causing errors on blank values.
• Added a manual “Sync Inventory and Price with Shopify” button, now featuring real-time progress tracking so you can monitor syncing activity.
• Improved Signature field usability on mobile and small screens.

• We're excited to introduce the Draft Field Options feature in Drodl: Custom Product Fields. This new functionality provides greater control over your field options, allowing you to designate certain options as drafts.
• Each option can now be designated as either active or draft. By default, options are set as active. When an option is marked as draft, it will no longer appear in the frontend, providing a seamless way to manage your options behind the scenes.
  
  
• In the admin preview, draft options will be visibly disabled, making it clear that they are not currently available for selection. This ensures clarity for administrators managing the options within the application.

Trouble with Drodl: Custom Product Fields Cart:

• We hide the variants that are visible on the shopping cart page.
• The feature has been technically implemented.
• A hidden visibility was added until the shopping cart is manipulated
• We do not show this variant as an additional item on the shopping cart page.
• However, it will be displayed for a period of 7-8 seconds when the pages load, which will be difficult for any user. To prevent this, we hide the page content until everything is loaded. You can see it as soon as the page is loaded.

While uploading images, get a warning:

• There are fields like swatch that allow you to upload a sample image.
• If the resolution of the uploaded image is larger than the required resolution, the following warning message is displayed
• No warning will be displayed if the image resolution is less than 200px. In any case, the image resolution is more than twice the size of the color sample. A warning is displayed (Show warning) The following yellow warning is not an error:
• It is a large image! Reduce the image size to shorten the loading time. Recommended size: 200 x 200px
• The recommended image size is at least 200 pixels or twice the width of the color swatch, whichever is larger.
• When creating image fields, we check if the uploaded image exceeds the required resolution. If so, a warning message is displayed in the pop-up window for adding fields.

• For rearranging fields, we have added the ability to click the arrows multiple times to move a given field up or down, depending on the number of clicks.
• Past versions of the application, the duplicated field was inserted at the very bottom, but now we insert the duplicated field object right after the field so that it is easy for users to check the duplicated field without scrolling down.
• If the user does not want to show a certain field on the product page without deleting it, then we have the option to mark the field as draft. We manage the status of each field and check on the product page if the field is marked as draft, so we do not create the field.

• The Masterfield title has not been translated into any language.
• The buttons on the dashboard fall out of the map when translated.
• Sometimes notifications appear above the text.
• Placement of notification numbers when translating to Italian
• The type selection is displayed in English.
• The TinyMCE editor displays a menu in English.
• Add conditions for French has a design problem
• Breadcrumbs of the theme configuration are not converted
• In the app interface, some words were not translated to their respective languages. We have therefore added a translation for these words. For translated words, the buttons were set to "out of the box". We fixed that with some styles.
• The same problem occurred with the Conditional Logic tab in the Dependency option layer. We fixed it with the help of CSS styles
