2.10.0 - 2026-09-17

Highlights:

This release lets you create custom models in the builder, instead of registering them in PHP with the MB Custom Table extension. Local JSON supports models as well.

See our blog post for an overview.

Other changes:

  • Add a column schema editor for field group custom tables, with column types, indexes, and automatic columns for new fields
  • Include the WordPress table prefix by default for new custom tables
  • Transliterate accented characters in table names instead of dropping them
  • Report custom table create and update failures when saving, instead of reporting success
  • Report Local JSON sync failures when saving, and reject an ID that another JSON file already owns
  • Delete stale Local JSON files after renaming a field group
  • Update the existing object when importing a JSON file with the same ID, instead of creating a duplicate
  • Rebuild editor settings when importing settings pages and blocks, so icons and menu settings survive the round trip
  • Fix multibyte IDs breaking meta box tooltips in WordPress 7.1
  • Fix admin column position suggestions missing the field ID prefix
  • Fix select advanced field preview not showing and not clearing
  • Fix error when trashing a post
  • Fix focus handling for hidden validation error elements

Other changes:

  • Add info columns to post type and taxonomy list tables
  • Fix security bug with migration from CPT UI
  • Fix icon picker not showing for existing post types

2.8.0 - 2026-07-30

Highlights:

This release introduces Block Bindings for Meta Box fields, allowing you to bind field values directly to blocks in the WordPress editor. Meta Box fields now appear as a source in the block bindings panel, making it easy to use custom field data inside blocks without shortcodes or PHP. See our blog post for details.

Other changes:

  • Update select2 library to fix missing placeholder
  • Fix querySelector errors with numeric IDs and missing DOM elements
  • Update description text for max_clone in relationship Fields tab for clarity
  • Update Twig to v3.11.3

2.7.0 - 2026-07-17

Highlight:

Introducing has_one_relationship option — configure it per side (from/to) to limit an item to a connect to only one item on the other side. Combined on both sides it creates a one-to-one relationship; on one side only, it creates one-to-many without duplicates.
