Use a filename as the value_key for Select Inputs

December 5th, 2025 | Changelog

This release added new values for value_key in Select Inputs, better copy for in-app guides, Status and Guide Progress tooltips, and improved clarity for error and activity messaging and the Bandwidth Usage table.

It also addressed several issues, including those affecting the in-app guides, broken links, Rich Text Inputs, file titles, and UI appearance.

Features & Improvements#

  • You can now use value_key: filename and value_key: filename_without_ext to populate a Select Input with the filename from a file on your Site. Here is an example Input configuration:
cloudcannon.config.yaml
copied
_inputs:
  related_articles:
    type: multiselect
    options:
      values: collections.articles
      value_key: filename_without_ext
cloudcannon.config.json
copied
{
  "_inputs": {
    "related_articles": {
      "type": "multiselect",
      "options": {
        "values": "collections.articles",
        "value_key": "filename_without_ext"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • Better copy for the Getting Started with Editing in-app guide.
  • The Set up Visual Editing in-app guide now tells you which Collections are using an automatically detected URL, an explicitly configured URL, or have URL disabled.
  • Improved the clarity of URLs in the Bandwidth table under the Usage tab on your Site Dashboard by removing the domain name.
  • Added a tooltip to the Status and Guide Progress indicators next to Dashboard in your Site Navigation.
  • Better error messaging for the Invalid global paths warning on your Site Dashboard.
  • Better copy for Cards under the Activity tab on your Site Dashboard to provide more context when you update your Site settings.

Fixes#

  • Fixed a broken link for the Syncs tab on your Site Dashboard.
  • Removed the Complete the Guide: Getting Started with Editing from the Host your website on the Internet in-app guide, as web hosting does not require you to have configured WYSIWYG editing.
  • Fixed an issue where the Skip Tour button was still visible after a task was completed in the Getting Started with Editing in-app guide.
  • Fixed an issue where Rich Text Inputs were not resizable by default.
  • Fixed an issue where, when updating the title of a file, the title in the Collection Browser, Editing Interface Header, and Save changes modal did not immediately update.
  • Fixed spacing issues and UI appearance across the app.
