Correctly accessing toml tables in v0.117+

[elanora96]

The validation added in v0.117 broke my configs for fields that are part of a toml table. Since this seems to be intentional, I feel I must ask if I was accessing values incorrectly?

For example, in toml front matter I have

[extra.foo]
enable = true

I have been setting "name": "extra.foo" with success.

Now that . is a filtered character, how can this field be accessed?

Yeah, dot notation is used everywhere to access nested fields created using the List or Object widget, so dots in name should not be allowed. The Relation field is a typical example. Netlify/Decap CMS doesn’t have validation for it though.

I think you just need to nest the fields like this:

fields:
  - name: extra
    widget: object
    fields:
      - name: foo
        widget: object
        fields:
          - name: enable
            widget: boolean

instead of

fields:
  - name: extra.foo
    widget: object
    fields:
      - name: enable
        widget: boolean

Ah I see, it seems so obvious in hindsight! Thank you for the quick response
