### What?
Extract text from the React node label in WhereBuilder
### Why?
If you have a nested field in filter options, the label would show
correctly, but the search will not work
### How
By adding an `extractTextFromReactNode` function that gets text out of
React.node label
### Code setup:
```
{
type: "collapsible",
label: "Meta",
fields: [
{
name: 'media',
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'media',
label: 'Ferrari',
filterOptions: () => {
return {
id: { in: ['67efdbc872ca925bc2868933'] },
}
}
},
{
name: 'media2',
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'media',
label: 'Williams',
filterOptions: () => {
return {
id: { in: ['67efdbc272ca925bc286891c'] },
}
}
},
],
},
```

### What?
Adds an option to open the current document in a new tab when opened in
a drawer.
### Why?
There is currently no direct way to open a document when opened in a
drawer. However, sometimes editors want to edit one or multiple
documents from relationships independently of the current edit view and
need an easy option to open these separately.
### How?
Converts the document id to a link if in drawer context.

### What?
Allows array fields to be filtered in the list view.
### Why?
Array fields were not filterable in the list view although all other
field types were filterable already.
### How?
Adds handling for array fields as filter option.
### What
This PR introduces a new `beforeDocumentControls` slot to the edit view
of both collections and globals.
It allows injecting one or more custom components next to the document
control buttons (e.g., Save, Publish, Save Draft) in the admin UI —
useful for adding context, additional buttons, or custom UI elements.
#### Usage
##### For collections:
```
admin: {
components: {
edit: {
beforeDocumentControls: ['/path/to/CustomComponent'],
},
},
},
```
##### For globals:
```
admin: {
components: {
elements: {
beforeDocumentControls: ['/path/to/CustomComponent'],
},
},
},
```
This fixes an issue where fields with the name `file` was being
serialized as a top-level field in multipart form data even when the
collection was not upload-enabled. This caused the value of `file` (when
used as a regular field like a text, array, etc.) to be stripped from
the `_payload`.
- Updated `createFormData` to only delete `data.file` and serialize it
at the top level if `docConfig.upload` is defined.
- This prevents unintended loss of `file` field values for non-upload
collections.
The `file` field now remains safely nested in `_payload` unless it's
part of an upload-enabled collection.
### What?
The list filters in the collection view allows invalid queries. If you
enter a value and then change operator, the value will remain even if it
doesn't pass the new value field validation, and an error is thrown.
### Why?
The value isn't reset or revalidated on operator change. It is reset on
field change.
### How?
Resets the value field when the operator changes.
Fixes#10648
In the Cell component for a select field such as our `_status` fields it
will now add a class eg. `selected--published` for the selected option
so it can be easily targeted with CSS.

Query Presets allow you to save and share filters, columns, and sort
orders for your collections. This is useful for reusing common or
complex filtering patterns and column configurations across your team.
Query Presets are defined on the fly by the users of your app, rather
than being hard coded into the Payload Config.
Here's a screen recording demonstrating the general workflow as it
relates to the list view. Query Presets are not exclusive to the admin
panel, however, as they could be useful in a number of other contexts
and environments.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1fe1155e-ae78-4f59-9138-af352762a1d5
Each Query Preset is saved as a new record in the database under the
`payload-query-presets` collection. This will effectively make them
CRUDable and allows for an endless number of preset configurations. As
you make changes to filters, columns, limit, etc. you can choose to save
them as a new record and optionally share them with others.
Normal document-level access control will determine who can read,
update, and delete these records. Payload provides a set of sensible
defaults here, such as "only me", "everyone", and "specific users", but
you can also extend your own set of access rules on top of this, such as
"by role", etc. Access control is customizable at the operation-level,
for example you can set this to "everyone" can read, but "only me" can
update.
To enable the Query Presets within a particular collection, set
`enableQueryPresets` on that collection's config.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
// ...
enableQueryPresets: true
}
```
Once enabled, a new set of controls will appear within the list view of
the admin panel. This is where you can select and manage query presets.
General settings for Query Presets are configured under the root
`queryPresets` property. This is where you can customize the labels,
apply custom access control rules, etc.
Here's an example of how you might augment the access control properties
with your own custom rule to achieve RBAC:
```ts
{
// ...
queryPresets: {
constraints: {
read: [
{
label: 'Specific Roles',
value: 'specificRoles',
fields: [roles],
access: ({ req: { user } }) => ({
'access.update.roles': {
in: [user?.roles],
},
}),
},
],
}
}
}
```

Consolidates all bulk edit related tests into a single, dedicated suite.
Currently, bulk edit tests are dispersed throughout the Admin > General
and the Versions test suites, which are considerably bloated for their
own purposes. This made them very hard to locate, mentally digest, and
add on new tests. Going forward, many more tests specifically for bulk
edit will need to be written. This gives us a simple, isolated place for
that.
With this change are also a few improvements to the tests themselves to
make them more predictable and efficient.
Implements a select-like API into the form state endpoint. This follows
the same spec as the Select API on existing Payload operations, but
works on form state rather than at the db level. This means you can send
the `select` argument through the form state handler, and it will only
process and return the fields you've explicitly identified.
This is especially useful when you only need to generate a partial form
state, for example within the bulk edit form where you select only a
subset of fields to edit. There is no need to iterate all fields of the
schema, generate default values for each, and return them all through
the network. This will also simplify and reduce the amount of
client-side processing required, where we longer need to strip
unselected fields before submission.
### What?
Prevents the preventLeave dialog from showing if a clicked link is about
to open in a new tab.
### Why?
Currently, no external link can be clicked on the edit page if it was
modified, even if the link would not navigate the user away from that
page but open in a new tab instead.
### How?
We don't trigger the preventLeave dialog if
- the target of a clicked anchor is `_blank`
- the user pressed the command or ctrl key while clicking on a link
(which opens link in a new tab)
We now have the ability to define all page metadata for the admin panel
via the Payload Config as a result of #11593. This means we can now set
sensible defaults for additional properties, e.g. `noindex` and
`nofollow` on the `robots` property. Setting this will prevent these
pages from being indexed and appearing in search results.
Note that setting this property prevents _indexing_ these pages, but
does not prevent them from being _crawled_. To prevent crawling as well,
you must add a standalone `robots.txt` file to your root directory.
Implements a form state task queue. This will prevent onChange handlers
within the form component from processing unnecessarily often, sometimes
long after the user has stopped making changes. This leads to a
potentially huge number of network requests if those changes were made
slower than the debounce rate. This is especially noticeable on slow
networks.
Does so through a new `useQueue` hook. This hook maintains a stack of
events that need processing but only processes the final event to
arrive. Every time a new event is pushed to the stack, the currently
running process is aborted (if any), and that event becomes the next in
the queue. This results in a shocking reduction in the time it takes
between final change to form state and the final network response, from
~1.5 minutes to ~3 seconds (depending on the scenario, see below).
This likely fixes a number of existing open issues. I will link those
issues here once they are identified and verifiably fixed.
Before:
I'm typing slowly here to ensure my changes aren't debounce by the form.
There are a total of 60 characters typed, triggering 58 network requests
and taking around 1.5 minutes to complete after the final change was
made.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/49ba0790-a8f8-4390-8421-87453ff8b650
After:
Here there are a total of 69 characters typed, triggering 11 network
requests and taking only about 3 seconds to complete after the final
change was made.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/447f8303-0957-41bd-bb2d-9e1151ed9ec3
Payload now fully exposes Next.js' metadata options. You can now use the
`admin.meta` config to set any properties that Next.js supports and
Payload will inject them into its `generateMetadata` function call. The
`MetaConfig` provided by Payload now directly extends the `Metadata`
type from Next.js.
Although `admin.meta` has always been available, it only supported a
subset of options, such as `title`, `openGraph`, etc., but was lacking
properties like `robots`, etc.
### What?
Adds new option to disable the `copy to locale` button, adds description
to docs and adds e2e test.
### Why?
Client request.
### How?
The option can be used like this:
```ts
// in collection config
admin: {
disableCopyToLocale: true,
},
```
Previously, collections with similar names (e.g., `uploads` and
`uploads-poly`) both appeared active when viewing either collection.
This was due to `pathname.startsWith(href)`, which caused partial
matches.
This update refines the `isActive` logic to prevent partial matches.
This fixes an issue where the active collection nav item was
non-clickable inside documents. Now, it remains clickable when viewing a
document, allowing users to return to the list view from the nav items
in the sidebar.
The active state indicator still appears in both cases.
Maintains column state in the URL. This makes it possible to share
direct links to the list view in a specific column order or active
column state, similar to the behavior of filters. This also makes it
possible to change both the filters and columns in the same rendering
cycle, a requirement of the "list presets" feature being worked on here:
#11330.
For example:
```
?columns=%5B"title"%2C"content"%2C"-updatedAt"%2C"createdAt"%2C"id"%5D
```
The `-` prefix denotes that the column is inactive.
This strategy performs a single round trip to the server, ultimately
simplifying the table columns provider as it no longer needs to request
a newly rendered table for itself. Without this change, column state
would need to be replaced first, followed by a change to the filters.
This would make an unnecessary number of requests to the server and
briefly render the UI in a stale state.
This all happens behind an optimistic update, where the state of the
columns is immediately reflected in the UI while the request takes place
in the background.
Technically speaking, an additional database query in performed compared
to the old strategy, whereas before we'd send the data through the
request to avoid this. But this is a necessary tradeoff and doesn't have
huge performance implications. One could argue that this is actually a
good thing, as the data might have changed in the background which would
not have been reflected in the result otherwise.
When visiting a collection's list view, the nav item corresponding to
that collection correctly appears in an active state, but is still
rendered as an anchor tag. This makes it possible to reload the current
page by simply clicking the link, which is a problem because this
performs an unnecessary server roundtrip. This is especially apparent
when search params exist in the current URL, as the href on the link
does not.
Unrelated: also cleans up leftover code that was missed in this PR:
#11155
Removes all unnecessary `page.waitForURL` methods within e2e tests.
These are unneeded when following a `page.goto` call because the
subsequent page load is already being awaited.
It is only a requirement when:
- Clicking a link and expecting navigation
- Expecting a redirect after a route change
- Waiting for a change in search params
Bulk edit controls are currently displayed within the search bar of the
list view. This doesn't make sense from a UX perspective, as the current
selection is displayed somewhere else entirely. These controls also take
up a lot of visual real estate which is beginning to get overused
especially after the introduction of "list menu items" in #11230, and
the potential introduction of "saved filters" controls in #11330.
Now, they are rendered contextually _alongside_ the selection count. To
make room for these new controls, they are displayed in plain text and
the entity labels have been removed from the selection count.
### What?
We had an `allowCreate` prop for the list drawer that doesn't do
anything. This PR passes the prop through so it can be used.
### How?
Passes `allowCreate` down to the list view and ties it with
`hasCreatePermission`
#### Testing
- Use `admin` test suite and `withListDrawer` collection.
- Test added to the `admin/e2e/list-view`.
Fixes#11246
There are nearly a dozen independent implementations of the same modal
spread throughout the admin panel and various plugins. These modals are
used to confirm or cancel an action, such as deleting a document, bulk
publishing, etc. Each of these instances is nearly identical, leading to
unnecessary development efforts when creating them, inconsistent UI, and
duplicative stylesheets.
Everything is now standardized behind a new `ConfirmationModal`
component. This modal comes with a standard API that is flexible enough
to replace nearly every instance. This component has also been exported
for reuse.
Here is a basic example of how to use it:
```tsx
'use client'
import { ConfirmationModal, useModal } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import React, { Fragment } from 'react'
const modalSlug = 'my-confirmation-modal'
export function MyComponent() {
const { openModal } = useModal()
return (
<Fragment>
<button
onClick={() => {
openModal(modalSlug)
}}
type="button"
>
Do something
</button>
<ConfirmationModal
heading="Are you sure?"
body="Confirm or cancel before proceeding."
modalSlug={modalSlug}
onConfirm={({ closeConfirmationModal, setConfirming }) => {
// do something
setConfirming(false)
closeConfirmationModal()
}}
/>
</Fragment>
)
}
```
When reusing the SelectInput component from the UI package, if you set
value to `''` it will continue to display the previously selected value
instead of clearing out the field as expected.
The ReactSelect component doesn't behave in this way and instead will
clear out the field.
This fix addresses this difference by resetting `valueToRender` inside
the SelectInput to null.
### What?
After clicking "Select all" `toggleAll(true)`, manually deselecting an
item does not update the overall selection status.
The bulk actions remain visible, and `selectAll` incorrectly stays as
`AllAvailable`.
### How?
Updated `setSelection()` logic to adjust `selectAll` when deselecting an
item if it was previously set to `AllAvailable`.
This ensures that the selection state updates correctly without altering
the effect logic.
`selectAll` switches to Some when an item is deselected after selecting
all.
Bulk actions now hide correctly if no items are selected.
Fixes#10836
### What?
Adds new option `admin.components.listMenuItems` to allow custom
components to be injected after the existing list controls in the
collection list view.
### Why?
Needed to facilitate import/export plugin.
#### Testing
Use `pnpm dev admin` to see example component and see test added to
`test/admin/e2e/list-view`.
## Update since feature was reverted
The custom list controls and now rendered with no surrounding padding or
border radius.

It is currently very difficult to build custom edit and list views or
inject custom components into these views because these views and
components are not explicitly typed. Instances of these components were
not fully type safe as well, i.e. when rendering them via
`RenderServerComponent`, there was little to no type-checking in most
cases.
There is now a 1:1 type match for all views and view components and they
now receive type-checking at render time.
The following types have been newly added and/or improved:
List View:
- `ListViewClientProps`
- `ListViewServerProps`
- `BeforeListClientProps`
- `BeforeListServerProps`
- `BeforeListTableClientProps`
- `BeforeListTableServerProps`
- `AfterListClientProps`
- `AfterListServerProps`
- `AfterListTableClientProps`
- `AfterListTableServerProps`
- `ListViewSlotSharedClientProps`
Document View:
- `DocumentViewClientProps`
- `DocumentViewServerProps`
- `SaveButtonClientProps`
- `SaveButtonServerProps`
- `SaveDraftButtonClientProps`
- `SaveDraftButtonServerProps`
- `PublishButtonClientProps`
- `PublishButtonServerProps`
- `PreviewButtonClientProps`
- `PreviewButtonServerProps`
Root View:
- `AdminViewClientProps`
- `AdminViewServerProps`
General:
- `ViewDescriptionClientProps`
- `ViewDescriptionServerProps`
A few other changes were made in a non-breaking way:
- `Column` is now exported from `payload`
- `ListPreferences` is now exported from `payload`
- `ListViewSlots` is now exported from `payload`
- `ListViewClientProps` is now exported from `payload`
- `AdminViewProps` is now an alias of `AdminViewServerProps` (listed
above)
- `ClientSideEditViewProps` is now an alias of `DocumentViewClientProps`
(listed above)
- `ServerSideEditViewProps` is now an alias of `DocumentViewServerProps`
(listed above)
- `ListComponentClientProps` is now an alias of `ListViewClientProps`
(listed above)
- `ListComponentServerProps` is now an alias of `ListViewServerProps`
(listed above)
- `CustomSaveButton` is now marked as deprecated because this is only
relevant to the config (see correct type above)
- `CustomSaveDraftButton` is now marked as deprecated because this is
only relevant to the config (see correct type above)
- `CustomPublishButton` is now marked as deprecated because this is only
relevant to the config (see correct type above)
- `CustomPreviewButton` is now marked as deprecated because this is only
relevant to the config (see correct type above)
This PR _does not_ apply these changes to _root_ components, i.e.
`afterNavLinks`. Those will come in a future PR.
Related: #10987.
If you have multiple blocks that are used in multiple places, this can quickly blow up the size of your Payload Config. This will incur a performance hit, as more data is
1. sent to the client (=> bloated `ClientConfig` and large initial html) and
2. processed on the server (permissions are calculated every single time you navigate to a page - this iterates through all blocks you have defined, even if they're duplicative)
This can be optimized by defining your block **once** in your Payload Config, and just referencing the block slug whenever it's used, instead of passing the entire block config. To do this, the block can be defined in the `blocks` array of the Payload Config. The slug can then be passed to the `blockReferences` array in the Blocks Field - the `blocks` array has to be empty for compatibility reasons.
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { lexicalEditor, BlocksFeature } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
// Payload Config
const config = buildConfig({
// Define the block once
blocks: [
{
slug: 'TextBlock',
fields: [
{
name: 'text',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
collections: [
{
slug: 'collection1',
fields: [
{
name: 'content',
type: 'blocks',
// Reference the block by slug
blockReferences: ['TextBlock'],
blocks: [], // Required to be empty, for compatibility reasons
},
],
},
{
slug: 'collection2',
fields: [
{
name: 'editor',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor({
BlocksFeature({
// Same reference can be reused anywhere, even in the lexical editor, without incurred performance hit
blocks: ['TextBlock'],
})
})
},
],
},
],
})
```
## v4.0 Plans
In 4.0, we will remove the `blockReferences` property, and allow string block references to be passed directly to the blocks `property`. Essentially, we'd remove the `blocks` property and rename `blockReferences` to `blocks`.
The reason we opted to a new property in this PR is to avoid breaking changes. Allowing strings to be passed to the `blocks` property will prevent plugins that iterate through fields / blocks from compiling.
## PR Changes
- Testing: This PR introduces a plugin that automatically converts blocks to block references. This is done in the fields__blocks test suite, to run our existing test suite using block references.
- Block References support: Most changes are similar. Everywhere we iterate through blocks, we have to now do the following:
1. Check if `field.blockReferences` is provided. If so, only iterate through that.
2. Check if the block is an object (= actual block), or string
3. If it's a string, pull the actual block from the Payload Config or from `payload.blocks`.
The exception is config sanitization and block type generations. This PR optimizes them so that each block is only handled once, instead of every time the block is referenced.
## Benchmarks
60 Block fields, each block field having the same 600 Blocks.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a909202e-45a8-4bf6-9a38-8c85813f1312
## Future Plans
1. This PR does not yet deduplicate block references during permissions calculation. We'll optimize that in a separate PR, as this one is already large enough
2. The same optimization can be done to deduplicate fields. One common use-case would be link field groups that may be referenced in multiple entities, outside of blocks. We might explore adding a new `fieldReferences` property, that allows you to reference those same `config.blocks`.
Due to nature of server-side rendering, navigation within the admin
panel can lead to slow page response times. This can lead to the feeling
of an unresponsive app after clicking a link, for example, where the
page remains in a stale state while the server is processing. This is
especially noticeable on slow networks when navigating to data heavy or
process intensive pages.
To alleviate the bad UX that this causes, the user needs immediate
visual indication that _something_ is taking place. This PR renders a
progress bar in the admin panel which is immediately displayed when a
user clicks a link, and incrementally grows in size until the new route
has loaded in.
Inspired by https://github.com/vercel/react-transition-progress.
Old:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1820dad1-3aea-417f-a61d-52244b12dc8d
New:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/99f4bb82-61d9-4a4c-9bdf-9e379bbafd31
To tie into the progress bar, you'll need to use Payload's new `Link`
component instead of the one provided by Next.js:
```diff
- import { Link } from 'next/link'
+ import { Link } from '@payloadcms/ui'
```
Here's an example:
```tsx
import { Link } from '@payloadcms/ui'
const MyComponent = () => {
return (
<Link href="/somewhere">
Go Somewhere
</Link>
)
}
```
In order to trigger route transitions for a direct router event such as
`router.push`, you'll need to wrap your function calls with the
`startRouteTransition` method provided by the `useRouteTransition` hook.
```ts
'use client'
import React, { useCallback } from 'react'
import { useTransition } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'
const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
const router = useRouter()
const { startRouteTransition } = useRouteTransition()
const redirectSomewhere = useCallback(() => {
startRouteTransition(() => router.push('/somewhere'))
}, [startRouteTransition, router])
// ...
}
```
In the future [Next.js might provide native support for
this](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/41934#discussioncomment-12077414),
and if it does, this implementation can likely be simplified.
Of course there are other ways of achieving this, such as with
[Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense), but they all
come with a different set of caveats. For example with Suspense, you
must provide a fallback component. This means that the user might be
able to immediately navigate to the new page, which is good, but they'd
be presented with a skeleton UI while the other parts of the page stream
in. Not necessarily an improvement to UX as there would be multiple
loading states with this approach.
There are other problems with using Suspense as well. Our default
template, for example, contains the app header and sidebar which are not
rendered within the root layout. This means that they need to stream in
every single time. On fast networks, this would also lead to a
noticeable "blink" unless there is some mechanism by which we can detect
and defer the fallback from ever rendering in such cases. Might still be
worth exploring in the future though.
Fixes#10440. When `filterOptions` are set on a relationship field,
those same filters are not applied to the `Filter` component within the
list view. This is because `filterOptions` is not being thread into the
`RelationshipFilter` component responsible for populating the available
options.
To do this, we first need to be resolve the filter options on the server
as they accept functions. Once resolved, they can be prop-drilled into
the proper component and appended onto the client-side "where" query.
Reliant on #11080.
Fixes#9873. The relationship filter in the "where" builder renders
stale values when switching between fields or adding additional "and"
conditions. This was because the `RelationshipFilter` component was not
responding to changes in the `relationTo` prop and failing to reset
internal state when these events took place.
While it sounds like a simple fix, it was actually quite extensive. The
`RelationshipFilter` component was previously relying on a `useEffect`
that had a callback in its dependencies. This was causing the effect to
run uncontrollably using old references. To avoid this, we use the new
`useEffectEvent` approach which allows the underlying effect to run much
more precisely. Same with the `Condition` component that wraps it. We
now run callbacks directly within event handlers as much as possible,
and rely on `useEffectEvent` _only_ for debounced value changes.
This component was also unnecessarily complex...and still is to some
degree. Previously, it was maintaining two separate refs, one to track
the relationships that have yet to fully load, and another to track the
next pages of each relationship that need to load on the next run. These
have been combined into a single ref that tracks both simultaneously, as
this data is interrelated.
This change also does some much needed housekeeping to the
`WhereBuilder` by improving types, defaulting the operator field, etc.
Related: #11023 and #11032
Unrelated: finds a few more instances where the new `addListFilter`
helper from #11026 could be used. Also removes a few duplicative tests.
When filtering the list view, removing the final condition from the
query closes the "where" builder entirely. This forces the user to
re-open the filter controls and begin adding conditions from the start.
### What?
Adds new option `admin.components.listControlsMenu` to allow custom
components to be injected after the existing list controls in the
collection list view.
### Why?
Needed to facilitate import/export plugin.
#### Preview & Testing
Use `pnpm dev admin` to see example component and see test added to
`test/admin/e2e/list-view`.

When filtering the list view using conditions on a relationship field,
clearing the value from the field would leave it in the query despite
being removed from the component.
Adds a new `addListFilter` e2e helper. This will help to standardize
this common functionality across all tests that require filtering list
tables and help reduce the overall lines of code within each test file.
### What?
This PR adds tests for custom list view components to the existing suite
in `admin/e2e/list-view/`. Custom components are already tested in the
document-level counterpart, and should be tested here as well.
### Why?
Previously, there were no tests for these list view components.
Refactors, features, or changes that impact the importMap, default list
view, etc., could affect how these components get rendered. It's safer
to have tests in place to catch this as custom list view components, in
general, are used quite often.
### How?
This PR adds 5 simple tests that check for the rendering of the
following list view components:
- `BeforeList`
- `BeforeListTable`
- `UI Field Cell`
- `AfterList`
- `AfterListTable`
### What?
Adds new feature to change the default behavior of the Publish button.
When localization is enabled, you can now choose whether to publish all
locales (default) or publish the active locale only.

### Why?
Since implementing the ability to publish a specific locale, users have
reported that having this option as the default button would be
preferred in some cases.
### How?
Add `defaultLocalePublishOption` to your localization config and set it
to 'active':
```ts
localization: {
defaultLocalePublishOption: 'active',
// the rest of your localization config
},
```

Field validations currently run very often, such as within form state on
type. This can lead to serious performance implications within the admin
panel if those validation functions are async, especially if they
perform expensive database queries. One glaring example of this is how
all relationship and upload fields perform a database lookup in order to
evaluate that the given value(s) satisfy the defined filter options. If
the field is polymorphic, this can happen multiple times over, one for
each collection. Similarly, custom validation functions might also
perform expensive tasks, something that Payload has no control over.
The fix here is two-fold. First, we now provide a new `event` arg to all
`validate` functions that allow you to opt-in to performing expensive
operations _only when documents are submitted_, and fallback to
significantly more performant validations as form state is generated.
This new pattern will be the new default for relationship and upload
fields, however, any custom validation functions will need to be
implemented in this way in order to take advantage of it. Here's what
that might look like:
```
[
// ...
{
name: 'text'
type: 'text',
validate: async (value, { event }) => {
if (event === 'onChange') {
// Do something highly performant here
return true
}
// Do something more expensive here
return true
}
}
]
```
The second part of this is to only run validations _after the form as
been submitted_, and then every change event thereafter. This work is
being done in #10580.
- Fixes collection and tab descriptions not having a bottom padding:
- Deprecates `description` on tabs config in favour of
`admin.description` but supports both
- Adds test to make sure `admin.description` renders with static string
and function too for tabs
Following https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/10551, I found and
fixed a handful more bugs:
- When writing to the input, the results that were already there were
not cleaned, causing incorrect results to appear.
- the scroll was causing an infinite loop that showed repeated elements
- optimization: only the required field is selected (not required)
- refs are set to the initial value to avoid a state where nothing can
be searched
Fixes#10018. When toggling columns, then sorting them, the table is
reset to the collection's default columns instead of the user's
preferred columns. This is because when sorting columns, a stale
client-side cache of the user's preferences is used to update their sort
preference. This is because when column state is constructed
server-side, it completely bypasses the client-side cache. To fix this,
sort preferences are now also set on the server right alongside column
preferences, which performs an upsert-like operation to ensure that no
existing preferences are lost.
