Form Editor
This sprint brings several improvements to the Form Editor: you can now convert components while keeping their properties, control and preview column widths in DataTables, and work with unified, explicit keywords across all choice-based components.

Value
🔁 Convert Components: Added an action to convert a component to another type within the same category, preserving shared properties—and for structure components, also keeping their child elements.
📏 Column Widths: Columns now support a “Width” field (px, %, or auto). Widths are shown as badges in the Columns section for quick overview.
- 🖥️ Preview Improvements: Column widths are applied in Preview mode for a more realistic table layout.
- ↔️ Resizable Columns: A new “Resizable Columns” option (on by default) lets you control whether end users can adjust column widths.
🔑 Consistent Keywords: All choice-based components (Select, Radio and Combobox) now use the item keyword to access their option data. The DataTable uses currentRow to access its row object. . In addition, these keywords must now be used explicitly in EL expressions (just like with data, logic, or cms) to correctly access their values.
Version
Next Steps
