Lightning Autofill v12.9.0 released

July 4, 2024

This release has a lot of internal fixes and a few feature requests. Here are the highlights:

It fixed the regression issue where some text fields were autofilling in an infinite loop, sometimes crashing the tab.
It fixed an issue where the number of profile executions for the Free plan was being counted incorrectly when used with a delay in Advanced configurations.
There’s a new option to group profiles in the “Execute profile” context menu by the first character of the profile name. Users with a ton of profiles might be inclined to enable this for easier navigation. Here’s how to enable it:

With this option enabled, the context menu will look like this:
There’s a new option to parse labels in order to use the friendly label text for the Name in autofill rules. This is currently only available for Google Forms and Microsoft Forms. Those who want to go back to using the id attribute for Google Forms should disable this.
In MV3, the {@variable} variables are no longer evaluated in JavaScript rules. Version 12.9 adds back support for variables in JavaScript rules by introducing a special $() function you can use to reference variables. Here’s how you would use it:

Variables tab
```
name = Bob
```
JavaScript rule
```
alert('My name is ' + $('name'));
```
You can also use JavaScript variables!
```
date = javascript:new Date().toLocaleDateString()
```
