Changelog - User Dropdown
Custom Fields - User Dropdown plugin PRO - v5.3.3 5 6
1 September 2026
- Security: the helper plugin for update logging is only installed when the update server supplies a valid checksum for it, and only from the Joomill update server
- Fix: the PRO-only settings in the free version showed an upgrade badge with no text next to it. Joomla puts every field description behind the inline help toggle, which leaves the badge without the one sentence explaining what it unlocks. Those fields now render their own description, always visible
- Language: the Spanish file is back at full string parity. The three upgrade texts the free version shows, the badge on a paid setting, the note above the form and the upgrade message, were missing and appeared as their raw language key
