Closed this issue · 4 comments

The problem (description, use case, screenshots...)

When using the new 'Craft 4 Upgrade' utility (In the Utilities CMS menu item) I cannot upgrade to Craft 4 until this plugin is compatible.

The solution (that feature you'd like to see)

The plugin updated to Craft 4

Alternatives you've considered

Using a different field type

Hey Rob. We're working through Craft 4 support for most of our plugins (full list of update plans here). Our focus is on our primary commercial plugins right now and a few of Craft's new features have us choosing to slim down what we support in Sprout fields.

A few thoughts out loud on things we're working through:

  • Address Field - Craft has just added a native Address Field, so we're exploring if we can just migrate to that
  • Notes Field - Will migrate to Craft's new Field Layout UI Elements
  • Email Field - Will probably retire
  • URL Field - Will probably retire

Thanks @BenParizek ! I'm actually only using the Phone field on this particular site but do regularly use the other fields on other sites. Good to know that it's on your radar, and I will investigate using native fields in the meantime :)

The address field only appears to be an option for Users, not any other element type.

Yes, unfortunately until Craft makes the Address field a general field type there won't be an easy upgrade path.

Here's the discussion for a native Address Field type where Brandon says he's planning on adding it at some point:
