Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/12532
Normally we clear any values when picking a date such that your hour,
minutes and seconds are normalised to 0 unless specified. Equally when
you specify a time we will normalise seconds so that only minutes are
relevant as configured.
Miliseconds were never removed from the actual date value and whatever
milisecond the editor was in was that value that was being added.
There's this [abandoned
issue](https://github.com/Hacker0x01/react-datepicker/issues/1991) from
the UI library `react-datepicker` as it's not something configurable.
This fixes that problem by making sure that miliseconds are always 0
unless the `displayFormat` includes `SSS` as an intention to show and
customise them.
This also caused [issues with scheduled
jobs](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/12566) if things were
slightly out of order or not being scheduled in the expected time
interval.
Technically you could already set `label: undefined` and it would be
supported by group fields but the types didn't reflect this.
So now you can create an unnamed group field like this:
```ts
{
type: 'group',
fields: [
{
type: 'text',
name: 'insideGroupWithNoLabel',
},
],
},
```
This will remove the label while still visually grouping the fields.

It is a common pattern to dynamically show and validate a select field's
options based on various criteria such as the current user or underlying
document.
Some examples of this might include:
- Restricting options based on a user's role, e.g. admin-only options
- Displaying different options based on the value of another field, e.g.
a city/state selector
While this is already possible to do with a custom `validate` function,
the user can still view and select the forbidden option...unless you
_also_ wired up a custom component.
Now, you can define `filterOptions` on select fields.
This behaves similarly to the existing `filterOptions` property on
relationship and upload fields, except the return value of this function
is simply an array of options, not a query constraint. The result of
this function will determine what is shown to the user and what is
validated on the server.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
name: 'select',
type: 'select',
options: [
{
label: 'One',
value: 'one',
},
{
label: 'Two',
value: 'two',
},
{
label: 'Three',
value: 'three',
},
],
filterOptions: ({ options, data }) =>
data.disallowOption1
? options.filter(
(option) => (typeof option === 'string' ? options : option.value) !== 'one',
)
: options,
}
```
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/12263
This was caused by passing not needed columns to the `SELECT DISTINCT`
query, which we execute in case if we have a filter / sort by a nested
field / relationship. Since the only columns that we need to pass to the
`SELECT DISTINCT` query are: ID and field(s) specified in `sort`, we now
filter the `selectFields` variable.
This PR updates the field `condition` function property to include a new
`operation` argument.
The `operation` arg provides a string relating to which operation the
field type is currently executing within.
#### Changes:
- Added `operation: Operation` in the Condition type.
- Updated relevant condition checks to ensure correct parameter usage.
### What?
This PR adds the ability to use the ListDrawer component for selecting
related collections for the relationship field instead of the default
drop down interface. This exposes the advanced filtering options that
the list view provides and provides a good interface for searching for
the correct relationship when the workflows may be more complicated.
I've added an additional "selectionType" prop to the relationship field
admin config that defaults to "dropdown" for compatability with the
existing implementation but "drawer" can be passed in as well which
enables using the ListDrawer for selecting related components.
### Why?
Adding the ability to search through the list view enables advanced
workflows or handles edge cases when just using the useAsTitle may not
be informative enough to find the related record that the user wants.
For example, if we have a collection of oscars nominations and are
trying to relate the nomination to the person who recieved the
nomination there may be multiple actors with the same name (Michelle
Williams, for example:
[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0931329/](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0931329/),
[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0931332/](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0931332/)).
It would be hard to search through the current dropdown ui to choose the
correct person, but in the list view the user could use other fields to
identify the correct person such as an imdb id, description, or anything
else they have in the collection for that person. Other advanced
workflows could be if there are multiple versions of a record in a
collection and the user wants to select the most recent one or just
anything where the user needs to see more details about the record that
they are setting up the relationship to.
### How?
This implementation just re-uses the useListDrawer hook and the
ListDrawer component so the code changes are pretty minimal. The main
change is a new onListSelect handler that gets passed into the
ListDrawer and handles updating the value in the field when a record is
selected in the ListDrawer.
There were also a two things that I didn't implement as they would
require broader code changes 1) Bulk select from the ListDrawer when a
relationship is hasMany - when using bulkSelect in the list drawer the
relatedCollection doesn't get returned so this doesn't work for
polymorphic relationships. Updating this would involve changing the
useListDrawer hook 2) Hide values that are already selected from the
ListDrawer - potentially possible by modifying the filterOptions and
passing in an additional filter but honestly it may not be desired
behaviour to hide values from the ListDrawer as this could be confusing
for the user if they don't see records that they are expected to see
(maybe if anything make them unselectable and indicate that they are
disabled). Currently if an already selected value gets selected the
selected value gets replaced by the new value

Lexical tests comprise almost half of the collections in the fields
suite, and are starting to become complex to manage.
They are sometimes related to other auxiliary collections, so
refactoring one test sometimes breaks another, seemingly unrelated one.
In addition, the fields suite is very large, taking a long time to
compile. This will make it faster.
Some ideas for future refactorings:
- 3 main collections: defaultFeatures, fully featured, and legacy.
Legacy is the current one that has multiple editors and could later be
migrated to the first two.
- Avoid collections with more than 1 editor.
- Create reseed buttons to restore the editor to certain states, to
avoid a proliferation of collections and documents.
- Reduce the complexity of the three auxiliary collections (text, array,
upload), which are rarely or never used and have many fields designed
for tests in the fields suite.
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],
},
}),
},
],
}
}
}
```

### What
This PR ensures that `select` and `radio` field option labels properly
accept and render JSX elements.
### Why
Previously, JSX elements could be passed as option labels, but the type
definition for options only allowed `LabelFunction` or `StaticLabel`,
resulting in type errors. Additionally:
- JSX labels did not render correctly in the list view but now do.
- In the versions diff view, JSX labels were not supported since it only
accepts strings. To address this, we now fallback to the option `value`
when the label is a JSX element.
The blocks e2e tests were flaky due to how we conditionally render
fields as they enter the viewport. This prevented Playwright from every
reaching the target element when running
`locator.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded()`. This is especially flaky on pages
with many fields because the page size would continually grow as it was
scrolled.
To fix this there are new `scrollEntirePage` and `waitForPageStability`
helpers. Together, these will ensure that all fields are rendered and
fully loaded before we start testing. An early attempt at this was made
via `page.mouse.wheel(0, 1750)`, but this is an arbitrary pixel value
that is error prone and is not future proof.
These tests were also flaky by an attempt to trigger a form state action
before it was ready to receive events. The fix here is to disable any
buttons while the form is initializing and let Playwright wait for an
interactive state.
Adds a new `admin.disableBlockName` property that allows you to disable
the blockName field entirely in the admin view. It defaults to false for
backwards compatibility.
This PR updates the field `condition` function property to include a new
`path` argument.
The `path` arg provides the schema path of the field, including array
indices where applicable.
#### Changes:
- Added `path: (number | string)[]` in the Condition type.
- Updated relevant condition checks to ensure correct parameter usage.
### What?
Unable to update json fields externally. For example, calling `setValue`
on a json field would not be reflected in the admin panel UI.
### Why?
JSON fields use the monaco editor to manage state internally, so
programmatically updating the value in state does not change the
internal value.
### How?
Set a ref when the user updates the value and then unset the ref after
the change is complete.
Inside the hook that watches `value`, if the value changed and the
change came from the system (i.e. a programmatic change) refresh the
editor by adjusting its key prop. If the change was made by the user,
there is no need to refresh the editor.

### What?
This PR introduces support for the `admin.group` property in block
configs. This property enables blocks to be grouped under a common,
potentially localized, label in the block drawer component. This makes
it easier to sort through large collections of blocks. Previously, all
blocks would be in one common layout.
This PR also encompasses documentation changes and e2e tests to check
for the rendering of group labels.
### Why?
To make it easier to organize many blocks in block fields.
### How?
By introducing a new `admin.group` property in block configs and
assembling them in the blocks drawer component.

Addresses #5609
The `localized` properly was not stripped out of referenced block fields, if any parent was localized. For normal fields, this is done in sanitizeConfig. As the same referenced block config can be used in both a localized and non-localized config, we are not able to strip it out inside sanitizeConfig by modifying the block config.
Instead, this PR had to bring back tedious logic to handle it everywhere the `field.localized` property is accessed. For backwards-compatibility, we need to keep the existing sanitizeConfig logic. In 4.0, we should remove it to benefit from better test coverage of runtime field.localized handling - for now, this is done for our test suite using the `PAYLOAD_DO_NOT_SANITIZE_LOCALIZED_PROPERTY` flag.
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.

## 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`.
Adds support for timezone selection on date fields.
### Summary
New `admin.timezones` config:
```ts
{
// ...
admin: {
// ...
timezones: {
supportedTimezones: ({ defaultTimezones }) => [
...defaultTimezones,
{ label: '(GMT-6) Monterrey, Nuevo Leon', value: 'America/Monterrey' },
],
defaultTimezone: 'America/Monterrey',
},
}
}
```
New `timezone` property on date fields:
```ts
{
type: 'date',
name: 'date',
timezone: true,
}
```
### Configuration
All date fields now accept `timezone: true` to enable this feature,
which will inject a new field into the configuration using the date
field's name to construct the name for the timezone column. So
`publishingDate` will have `publishingDate_tz` as an accompanying
column. This new field is inserted during config sanitisation.
Dates continue to be stored in UTC, this will help maintain dates
without needing a migration and it makes it easier for data to be
manipulated as needed. Mongodb also has a restriction around storing
dates only as UTC.
All timezones are stored by their IANA names so it's compatible with
browser APIs. There is a newly generated type for `SupportedTimezones`
which is reused across fields.
We handle timezone calculations via a new package `@date-fns/tz` which
we will be using in the future for handling timezone aware scheduled
publishing/unpublishing and more.

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11055
Functions passed to array field, block field or block `labels` were not properly handled in the client config, causing those functions to be sent to the client. This leads to a "Functions cannot be passed directly to Client Component" error
The "select decoratorNodes" test was flaky, as it often selected the relationship block node with a relationship to "payload.jpg", instead of the upload node for "payload.jpg", depending on which node loaded first.
This PR ensures it waits for all blocks to be loaded, and updates the selector to specifically target the upload node
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.
The `fields-relationship` test suite is disorganized to the point of
being unusable. This makes it very difficult to digest at a high level
and add new tests.
This PR cleans it up in the following ways:
- Moves collection configs to their own standalone files
- Moves the seed function to its own file
- Consolidates collection slugs in their own file
- Uses generated types instead of defining them statically
- Wraps the `filterOptions` e2e tests within a describe block
Related, there are three distinct test suites where we manage
relationships: `relationships`, `fields-relationship`, and `fields >
relationships`. In the future we ought to consolidate at least two of
these. IMO the `fields > relationship` suite should remain in place for
general _component level_ UI tests for the field itself, whereas the
other suite could run the integration tests and test the more complex UI
patterns that exist outside of the field component.
Previously, the lexical link drawer did not display any fields if the
`create` permission was false, even though the `update` permission was
true.
The issue was a faulty permission check in `RenderFields` that did not
check the top-level permission operation keys for truthiness. It only
checked if the `permissions` variable itself was `true`, or if the
sub-fields had `create` / `update` permissions set to `true`.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10780
Previously, with enabled versions, nested select `hasMany: true` fields
weren't working with SQL database adapters. This was due to wrongly
passed `parent` to select rows data because we store arrays and blocks
in versions a bit differently, using both, `id` and `_uuid` (which
contains the normal Object ID) columns. And unlike with non versions
`_uuid` column isn't actually applicable here as it's not unique, thus
we need to save blocks/arrays first and then map their ObjectIDs to
generated by the database IDs and use them for select fields `parent`
data
Custom block row labels defined on `admin.components.Label` were not
rendering despite existing in the config. Instead, if a custom label
component was defined on the _top-level_ blocks field itself, it was
incorrectly replacing each blocks label _in addition_ to the field's
label. Now, custom labels defined at the field-level now only replace
the field's label as expected, and custom labels defined at the
block-level are now supported as the types suggest.
There were a handful of list view e2e tests written into the text and
email field test suite, making them hard to find as they were isolated
from other related tests. A few of these tests were also duplicative
across suites, making CI run them twice unnecessarily.
Fixes#10070. Adding new blocks or array rows can randomly get stuck
within an infinite loading state. This was because the abort controllers
responsible for disregarding duplicate `onChange` and `onSave` events
was not properly resetting its refs across invocations. This caused
subsequent event handlers to incorrectly abort themselves, leading to
unresolved requests and a `null` form state. Similarly, the cleanup
effects responsible for aborting these requests on component unmount
were also referencing its `current` property directly off the refs,
which can possible be stale if not first set as a variable outside the
return function.
This PR also carries over some missing `onSave` logic from the default
edit view into the live preview view. In the future the logic between
these two views should be standardized, as they're nearly identical but
often become out of sync. This can likely be done through the use of
reusable hooks, such as `useOnSave`, `useOnChange`, etc. Same with the
document locking functionality which is complex and deeply integrated
into each of these views.
IDs that are supplied directly through the API, such as client-side
generated IDs when adding new blocks and array rows, are overwritten on
create. This is because when adding blocks or array rows on the client,
their IDs are generated first before being sent to the server for
processing. Then when the server receives this data, it incorrectly
overrides them to ensure they are unique when using relational DBs. But
this only needs to happen when no ID was supplied on create, or
specifically when duplicating documents via the `beforeDuplicate` hook.
### What?
Querying by nested to rows fields in has many relationships like this:
```ts
const result = await payload.find({
collection: 'relationship-fields',
where: {
'relationToRowMany.title': { equals: 'some-title' },
},
})
```
Where the related collection:
```ts
const RowFields: CollectionConfig = {
slug: rowFieldsSlug,
fields: [
{
type: 'row',
fields: [
{
name: 'title',
label: 'Title within a row',
type: 'text',
required: true,
},
],
},
],
}
```
was broken
### Why?
We migrated to use `flattenedFields`, but not in this specific case.
This error would be caught earlier we used `noImplictAny` typescript
rule. https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#noImplicitAny which
wouldn't allow us to create variable like this:
```ts
let relationshipFields // relationshipFields is any here
```
Instead, we should write:
```ts
let relationshipFields: FlattenedField[]
```
We should migrate to it and `strictNullChecks` as well.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/9534
Although we have a dedicated e2e test suite for custom IDs, tests for
custom unnamed tab and row IDs were still located within the admin test
suite. This consolidates these tests into the appropriate test suite as
expected.
Fixes#9888. Field permissions were not being passed into custom
components. This led to custom components, such as arrays and blocks,
unable to render default Payload fields. This was because their props
lacked the permissions object required for rendering. For example:
```ts
'use client'
import type { ArrayFieldClientComponent } from 'payload'
import { ArrayField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
export const MyArray: ArrayFieldClientComponent = (props) => <ArrayField {...props} />
```
In this example the array field itself would render, but the fields
within each row would not, because the array field did not pass its
permissions down to the rows.
Extension of #9933. Custom components are returned by form state,
meaning that if we don't wait for form state to return before rendering
row labels, the default row label component will render in briefly
before being swapped by a custom component (if applicable). Using the
new `isLoading` prop on array and block rows, we can conditionally
render them just as we currently do for the row fields themselves.
Rework of https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/5912
### What?
Now, when `defaultValue` is defined as function you can receive the
`req` argument:
```ts
{
name: 'defaultValueFromReq',
type: 'text',
defaultValue: async ({ req, user, locale }) => {
return Promise.resolve(req.context.defaultValue)
},
},
```
`user` and `locale` even though are repeated in `req`, this potentially
leaves some room to add more args in the future without removing them
now.
This also improves type for `defaultValue`:
```ts
type SerializableValue = boolean | number | object | string
export type DefaultValue =
| ((args: {
locale?: TypedLocale
req: PayloadRequest
user: PayloadRequest['user']
}) => SerializableValue)
| SerializableValue
```
### Why?
To access the current URL / search params / Local API and other things
directly in `defaultValue`.
### How?
Passes `req` through everywhere where we call `defaultValue()`
As field tests grow in size, they need to be moved out of the greater
fields test spec and into their own standalone files for readability,
maintainability, and speed. This way they we can write field tests in a
more isolated environment, and they can run in parallel in CI.
Deprecates `react-animate-height` in favor of native CSS, specifically
the `interpolate-size: allow-keywords;` property which can be used to
animate to `height: auto`—the primary reason this package exists. This
is one less dependency in our `node_modules`. Tried to replicate the
current DOM structure, class names, and API of `react-animate-height`
for best compatibility.
Note that this CSS property is experimental BUT this PR includes a patch
for browsers without native support. Once full support is reached, the
patch can be safely removed.
### What?
Non-standard ids caused an issue when finding the document on the
server.
This is an odd regression, in 2.0 we were fetching the document on the
client so the request would handle decoding the url. Now we are fetching
the document on the server and need to do this manually when reading id
from route params.
### Why?
The slug pulled out of the url for an id of `id 1` would equate to
`id%201` which would fail in the `payload.find` call since there is not
an id stored as `id%201` but instead `id 1`.
### How?
Wherever we are calling payload.find in the views and querying by `id`
it gets ran through a helper function that decodes it properly.
Fixes#9373
Fixes#9264. When externally updating array or block rows through the
`addFieldRow` or `replaceFieldRow` methods, nested rich text fields
along with any custom components within them are never rendered. This is
because unless the form is explicitly set to modified, as the default
array and blocks fields currently do, the newly generated form-state
will skip the rendering step. Now, the underlying callbacks themselves
automatically set the form to modified to trigger rendering.
