    When I try to use the update_col list plugin using PHP8 I get an error message " 0 Attempt to modify property "coltoupdate" on null". I've tried with various columns and values but always get the same result. The plugin worked well on PHP7.4 (and has proved very useful!)

    Where is the new jdate plugin?

    I've updated Fabrik on my development site from 3.9 to 3.9.2 but can see no sign of a new jdate plugin. I only have the date plugin. It's not discoverable, it's not in the fabrik elements directory, and there's no mention of it on the Fabrik wiki, so I'm puzzled. What are the differences...

    Prefilling a form element from a link

    I'm creating a form for members of an organisation to provide some data to go into a completely new table.
