Site Studio 8.2.9 - October 27, 2026

Bug Fixes

Fixes error when tokens are used in custom element markup tab

What is it?

Resolves an issue where a token in the markup tab of a custom element caused an error if inserted values contained characters such as quotes or backslashes. Site Studio handles these values correctly.

What impact will there be?

Custom elements with tokenized markup fields render correctly regardless of text entered into the field.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

None.

Fixes layout canvas rendering issues across users

What is it?

Resolves an issue where multiple content items shared a layout, such as after content cloning, which caused incorrect parent identification for the layout. Site Studio identifies the correct parent entity for each version of the layout.

What impact will there be?

Layout canvases render correctly.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

None.

Performance improvement for Site Studio style rendering

What is it?

Resolves performance issues where Site Studio performed unnecessary operations during custom style loads, such as individual style checks and unnecessary style searches. Site Studio bypasses unnecessary checks and performs bulk style searches.

What impact will there be?

Pages that use Site Studio styles, especially pages that reference many custom styles, load faster.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

None.

Fixes tokenized content processing issues with ECA module

What is it?

Resolves an issue where Site Studio processed tokens provided by the ECA module incorrectly, which caused tokenized content rendering failures. Site Studio bypasses these tokens so that Drupal replaces them during page display.

What impact will there be?

Sites that use ECA tokens in Site Studio content rebuild successfully, and tokens display expected values.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

None.

Fixes placeholder text display issues on pages with Site Studio styles

What is it?

Resolves an issue where Site Studio styles interfered with Drupal BigPipe page loads on certain pages and left unprocessed placeholder text visible. Site Studio leaves this content unmodified so BigPipe completes page loads as expected.

What impact will there be?

Pages load correctly without placeholder text display issues.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

None.

Fixes canvas preview updates for element and component fields

What is it?

Resolves an issue where stale preview data overrode field changes applied in the sidebar. Site Studio rebuilds preview values from current variable fields, synchronizes values during inline field edits, and preserves values after a UUID change on a node.

What impact will there be?

Canvas previews display applied field changes, such as image settings, and retain variable preview values. Standard field updates do not create preview overrides that hide subsequent changes.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

None.

Fixes manual cache clear requirements after Site Studio component and template updates

What is it?

Resolves an issue where Site Studio component and template updates failed to apply immediately after save operations and required a manual cache clear.

What impact will there be?

Component and template updates display immediately after save operations without a manual cache clear.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

None.

Fixes Acquia DAM asset rendering from remote embed URL

What is it?

Resolves an issue where the Image component and Link element rendered Acquia DAM assets through remote acquia-dam:// embed URLs even after activation of the Download and sync assets setting on the DAM media type.

What impact will there be?

After activation of Download and sync assets on a DAM media type, the Image component and Link element render the local asset copy instead of retrieving the asset from the remote embed URL. Media types without Download and sync assets remain unaffected.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

None.

Fixes stale content and cache metadata isolation in hidden-region blocks

What is it?

Resolves an issue where blocks placed in the Site Studio hidden region (dx8_hidden) omitted block cache metadata (tags, contexts, and max-age) during isolated rendering. This isolation prevented cache tag delivery to the page cache, which caused pages to serve stale content after view template updates, and dropped session cache contexts or max-age settings.

What impact will there be?

Full cache metadata from blocks in the hidden region passes to the parent page. Pages that use view templates through hidden-region blocks invalidate after template updates, and pages with session-specific hidden-region blocks prevent cache sharing across users.

What actions must I take?

None.

Are there any risks to be aware of?

Pages with hidden-region blocks that require user-specific rendering or short max-age values can experience reduced cacheability because metadata passes to the parent page. This update corrects previous behavior that served session-specific content to unauthorized users from shared page or CDN caches.
