📈 Version 2.6.1 - vCard Name Dropdown Coordination

Released: September 2, 2026

🌟 Highlights

• No-duplicate vCard name parts in the QR Code Generator —
  the five name-part types (First / Middle / Last / Prefix /
  Suffix) now share a single pool so the same type can't be
  picked twice across multiple name rows
• Auto-restore on removal — when a name row is deleted (or
  its type is changed), the freed-up type automatically becomes
  available in every other row's dropdown again
• Smart default for new rows — adding a new name row picks
  the first enabled type from the pool instead of always
  defaulting to first_name, so users see the next sensible
  choice pre-selected
• Pure-client-side, zero backend impact — coordination
  happens entirely in the existing inline <script> block of
  public/tools/qr-code-generator.php; no new files, no API
  changes, no schema changes

🔧 How It Works

The vCard Name section now keeps the five type options in
a canonical pool (NAME_TYPES) on the client. Each row's
<select> is tagged with data-name-type-select, and a single
syncNameSelects() function rebuilds the options of every
name-row select whenever:

• the page first loads
• a name row is added (+ Add another name part)
• a name row is removed (✕)
• the user picks a different type in any row

Options that are already in use elsewhere are rendered
<option disabled> so they remain visible (for context) but
cannot be chosen. The select belonging to the row that already
holds the type keeps it enabled and selected.

When the user clicks + Add another name part, the handler
reads the types currently in use, picks the first entry from
NAME_TYPES that isn't taken, and sets it as the new row's
value before running the sync — so the default is always the
next sensible, still-enabled type.

📁 Updated Files

• public/tools/qr-code-generator.php
  • Server-rendered name <select> now carries
    data-name-type-select
  • JS template for newly-added name rows emits the same
    attribute
  • New NAME_TYPES pool + syncNameSelects() function
  • + Add another name part handler chooses the first free
    type as the default for the new row
  • ✕ Remove handler triggers syncNameSelects() so
    freed-up options reappear
  • Delegated change listener keeps every dropdown in sync
    when a user changes type manually

✅ Verification

• Manual smoke test on public/tools/qr-code-generator.php:
  • Row 1 = first_name → Row 2's dropdown shows first_name
    as a disabled option
  • Add Row 3 → defaults to middle_name (first free type)
  • Change Row 2 to prefix → Row 1 + Row 3 dropdowns disable
    prefix
  • Delete Row 1 → first_name becomes enabled again in Rows 2
    and 3
• Sticky-form behaviour preserved — on a POST submission that
  re-renders the form, syncNameSelects() runs on init so any
  duplicate selections from a malicious payload would be
  re-coordinated (and the resulting POSTed values stay as the
  user already typed them)
• No backend / API changes; existing payloads still validate
  unchanged
