Upgrade considerations - changes affecting all projects

Changes to label_format behavior in StructBlock

In Wagtail 7.1, the label_format option for StructBlock has been changed to always show the block's original label when the block is collapsed, with the label_format string shown after it as a summary instead of replacing the label. This means that if you had previously set label_format to include (or be the same as) the label, you would likely want to remove the original label's text from the label_format string.

If you wish to hide the summary label entirely (similar to setting label_format = label in Wagtail < 7.1), you can set label_format to the empty string "". This was not possible in Wagtail 7.1, but is now supported as of this release.
