+# Alpaca - Modified version - New features added
+
+- A Copy function for arrays. A new icon is added to the toolbar that copies
+  the current element. 
+
+- New dependency system. Dependencies are specified as part of the options json, using the field "x\_dependencies". x\_dependencies is an array of objects, with the following fields:
+  - "field" : path to field that is to be checked (no leading slash). Use "[]" to indicate all elements of an array. 
+  - "values": array of values against which _field_ is checked.
+  - "enables": array of relative paths to fields that are to be enabled when _field_ is equal to one of the values.  The path root is the parent of the element indicated by _field_.  So, dependencies can refer to siblings of the _field_ element, or to elements deeper in the tree.  "[]" can again be used to specify all elements of an array.
+
+  Example.
+  ```
+  {
+    "options": {
+        "x_dependencies": [
+            {
+                "field": "questions[]/type",
+                "values": ["likert","vas"],
+                "enables": [ "desc/nld_nld/anchors", "range"]
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+  This checks if the _type_ field of each element of the _questions_ array is equal to either of the two given strings. If true, the _range_ field in the same element and the *desc.nld_nld.anchors* subfields are enabled. If false, they are disabled (hidden).
