In the 2.1.0 release, we have

Let’s take a closer look at the major changes below.

What’s New

YayExtra Free and Pro

• Steps/Accordions layout: You can present an option set as steps or accordions instead of one long stack of fields.
• Images Element: Add image content inside the option set when you need visuals next to the fields.

• Heading Element: Add a heading to break the form into labeled sections.
• Divider Element: Add a divider between groups of options.
• Spacing Element: Add space between fields without custom CSS.
• Paragraph Element: Add short helper text in the option set.

• HTML Element: Add custom HTML when a heading or paragraph is not enough.
• Search in the option type selector: Search the field list instead of scrolling through every type.

YayExtra Pro

• Popup Element: Open extra content in a popup from the option set.
• Product list Element: Show a product list inside the option set.

• Link Element: Add a link field when the customer needs to click through to another page or resource.

Better than Before

YayExtra Free and Pro

• Grouped option types: Field types now sit in categories: Input, Choice List, Swatch, and Static. The selector is easier to scan when you add a new option than when you use a single mixed list.

The search box from What’s New works with this grouping. You can jump to a type by name or browse by category.

Conclusion

YayExtra 2.1.0 is a builder update. You get a Steps/Accordions layout and new static elements for images, headings, dividers, spacing, paragraphs, and HTML.

Pro adds popup, product list, and link elements. The option type selector is easier to use too.

Types are grouped into Input, Choice List, Swatch, and Static, and you can search when the list gets long. If you already use YayExtra, this is a good time to update and rebuild option sets that felt cramped into a single long form.
