Request to Enhance set_result Functionality for Passing Additional Data to Frontend

Feature Requests / Improvements
1

Hello Bricks Team,

I’ve recently started using the bricks/form/custom_action feature, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my workflow! It’s made things much more efficient. However, I encountered a challenge when trying to pass some “additional data” from the backend to the frontend using the set_result method. Unfortunately, it seems that this data isn’t accessible on the frontend.

My goal is to pass custom data that the frontend can use for further processing.

Example:

I attempted the following in PHP:

$form->set_result([
    'action' => 'my_custom_action',
    'type'   => 'success',
    'message' => esc_html__('Operation successful', 'bricks'),
    'additional_data' => 'Some extra information',
]);

On the frontend, I tried accessing this “additional data” using JavaScript:

document.addEventListener('bricks/form/success', function(event) {
    console.log('Additional data:', event.detail.res.additional_data);
});

Issue:

The “additional data” is not being passed to the frontend, which limits the ability to implement custom logic based on the server’s response.

Request:

Could you please enhance the set_result functionality to ensure that “additional data” passed from the backend is accessible on the frontend? This would greatly improve flexibility for developers.

Thank you for considering this request.
