About Version 2.x

Here is the meta issue that was created when 2.x was only an idea https://www.drupal.org/project/frontend_editing/issues/3436684 🌱 [Meta] Plans for 2.x Active . It explains what benefits are there when using extra field.

More over extra field settings allow to choose what form display you want to use in Frontend Editing sidebar. In 1.x it is only "Default" form mode, in 2.x you can choose yourself.

Thank you @a.dmitriiev,

I had a vague memory that I had seen this somewhere before.

Very nice feature additions!
