Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I read the explanation in the project page about a required modification and thus the need of using a custom version of the jQuery plugin, but can this modification be pushed upstream so that we can then use Libraries API and keep the plugin up to date instead of having to ship a new version of the module each time a new version of the plugin is released.
I'm filing this as a support request initially, in order to find if this is even possible or if an issue has already been filed upstream for this. Once this is done, we can change this issue to a feature request or a task to support Libraries API.

klonosDo you mean try replacing the custom, patched version that ships with the module with a fresh official version and see if things still work?

attiks CreditAttribution: attiks commented#2 Yes, that's what I mean, I think (but it's a long time ago) the only change is the suppression of empty messages in case of radio/checkbox. So if you have a site with some forms, it will be the fastest way to see if it still works.

klonosI'm reluctant to test this in production sites. Give me some time to get a test setup and try things out. I'll report back...

Jelle_SI created a new branch 'libraries' which should work with the libraries api module (all testswarm tests passed, and the manual tests I did all passed as well)
We still need to define a decent update function for the new dependency
