{{Hint:}} doesn’t turn to a “Show hint” linking to a fild now. I have a lot of Hints and now they don’t function. Can this function be restored?

If you were using hint instead of Hint, my guess is you have placed these inside individual fields. It was only ever intended to be used in a card template, and I’m afraid the old behaviour is unlikely to return.

Ok. I’ve adapted to this change. The problem is solved.
