Description


The asset properties selector is used to select properties for assets. With this change, it is now possible to add custom properties to the list of available properties in the asset properties selector. These custom properties are a combination of predefined properties and properties from the properties library. The custom properties are added as temporary items to the list and can be removed again. However, they are not permanently stored. This change allows users to have more flexibility in selecting and combining relevant properties for their assets.

For which widgets can I use this?

Currently no widget supports adding custom properties (to be precise- HTML widget does for now, but it will be removed from it very soon). If you develop your own widget as a plugin, you can use Asset property selector with allowAddingCustomProperties: true already or check how it works in codex/tutorial.
