This [PR](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/9438) introduced a
bug with the publish button, an error was being thrown when localization
is false. Updated the logic breaking the publish button to safely check
whether localization exists.
### 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
},
```

### What?
This PR fixes many links in the docs as well as a few formatting and
grammar issues.
### Why?
To properly link users to the correct destination in the docs and
present well-formatted docs.
### How?
Changes to a few files in `docs/`
### What?
When hitting the form-state endpoint, previousValue was undefined.
### Why?
It was not being passed through.
### How?
Sets previousValue as the initial value of the field.

Field validations can be expensive, especially custom validations that
are async or highly complex. This can lead to slow form state response
times when generating form state for many such fields. Ideally, we only
run validations on fields whose values have changed. This is not
possible, however, because field validation functions might reference
_other_ field values with their args, and there is no good way of
detecting exactly which fields should run in this case. The next best
thing here is to only run validations _after the form has been
submitted_, and then every `onChange` event thereafter until a
successful submit has taken place. This is an elegant solution because
we currently don't _render_ field errors until submission anyway.
This change will significantly speed up form state response times, at
least until the form has been submitted. From then on, all field
validations will run regardless, just as they do now. If custom
validations continue to slow down form state response times, there is a
new `event` arg introduced in #10738 that can be used to control whether
heavy operations occur on change or on submit.

Field paths within hooks are not correct.
For example, an unnamed tab containing a group field and nested text
field should have the path:
- `myGroupField.myTextField`
However, within hooks that path is formatted as:
- `_index-1.myGroupField.myTextField`
The leading index shown above should not exist, as this field is
considered top-level since it is located within an unnamed tab.
This discrepancy is only evident through the APIs themselves, such as
when creating a request with invalid data and reading the validation
errors in the response. Form state contains proper field paths, which is
ultimately why this issue was never caught. This is because within the
admin panel we merge the API response with the current form state,
obscuring the underlying issue. This becomes especially obvious in
#10580, where we no longer initialize validation errors within form
state until the form has been submitted, and instead rely solely on the
API response for the initial error state.
Here's comprehensive example of how field paths _should_ be formatted:
```
{
// ...
fields: [
{
// path: 'topLevelNamedField'
// schemaPath: 'topLevelNamedField'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'topLevelNamedField',

### What?
When the doc permissions were retrieved from the DB, we were coercing
them into strings even when they should not have been.
### Why?
Usage of `id.toString()`
### How?
Remove `id.toString()`. The id will be correct by this point and we
should never coerce id's like this.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8218
### What?
Error thrown when initiating the Estonian language (`et`) from
`@payloadcms/translations`
<img width="896" alt="Screenshot 2025-01-27 at 3 17 49 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/27603c75-d713-4f11-b141-dc293d51800c"
/>
### How?
`et` needed to be added to `importDateFNSLocale`. Tested after this
change and the error is no longer present.
Fixes#10817
### What?
When the draft functionality is enabled, in the version history page,
_Restore this version_ renders an empty submenu popup.
### Why?
Restore this version button has below 2 basic scenarios:
1. restore a previously published version.
In this scenario, this button has a second option _Restore as a draft_
which is in the button submenu area, it works perfectly.
2. restore a draft version
As a draft version, there should not have a second option _Restore as a
draft_, because it is a draft version itself, so this second option and
the submenu is not required in this scenario, but actually it shows an
empty submenu which is not a good idea
### How?
Check if this version is a draft version, if yes, no need to set a
render prop to the button component, so the empty popup won't be
displayed.

Fixes: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10787
The underlying problem is that there are types in the form builder
plugin that are unnecessarily `any` or `unknown`.
Here in the website template this was being circumvented with a function
that was not really needed (buildInitialFormState), and with new unknown
types (Value, Property and Data).
Since create-payload-app fetches from the latest commit instead of the
latest release, it is necessary to first merge
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/10789, and once the next
release is done this PR can be merged.
### What?
This PR fixes an issue for tab subfield permissions
### Why?
Permissions were not being correctly extracted when passing them down.
### How?
Properly extracts permissions when rendering fields inside the active tab.

Improves the logging that `routeError` throws.
Logs were sometimes being swallowed if there was a problem with the
incoming request. Now they will surface.
## Description
Allows some fields to be collapsed in the version diff view. The fields
that can be collapsed are the ones which can also be collapsed in the
edit view, or that have visual grouping:
- `collapsible`
- `group`
- `array` (and their rows)
- `blocks` (and their rows)
- `tabs`
It also
- Fixes incorrect indentation of some fields
- Fixes the rendering of localized tabs in the diff view
- Fixes locale labels for the group field
- Adds a field change count to each collapsible diff (could imagine this
being used in other places)
- Brings the indentation gutter back to help visualize multiple nesting
levels
## Future improvements
- Persist collapsed state across page reloads (sessionStorage vs
preferences)

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10787
This is the first part of the fix for
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10787.
The second part is https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/10785
The `packages/plugin-form-builder/src/types.ts` file contains many more
types besides MessageField.message that are unnecessarily `unknown` or
`any`.
In this PR I'm only fixing that one because:
1. It's what's needed to fix the issue.
2. I want to avoid a breaking change (they should be improved in v4
though).
I don't think MessageField.message will cause a breaking change for
anyone, since it's based on a rich text field.
### What?
- Removes the tenant cookie when the user logs out
- Prevents double redirect to globals when no tenant is selected
### Why?
There were a couple scenarios where the cookie and the tenant did not
match, ie if you logged into 1 tenant, and then out and then into
another tenant.
If the bun extension is installed, a "Run Test" button is displayed in
int test files. Clicking it will use bun to run those tests, which will
always fail.
This PR disables that test button, as it's useless in our repo

The real button here is "Run". Clicking "Run Test" instead will use bun
and fail. Confusing, right?
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.
This was a tricky one.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10700
May potentially fix 9163
This could have also been causing glitchyness related to things like
lexical upload / relationship / link node population.
## Issue and solution explained
The lexical field afterRead hook is responsible for executing afterRead
hooks (this includes relationship population) for all sub-nodes, e.g.
upload or block nodes.
Any field and population promises that were created in the process of
traversing the lexical editor state were added to the parent
`fieldPromises` and `populationPromises` array.
Now this lexical `afterRead` hook, which is responsible for creating and
adding all field and population promises of its sub-nodes to the parent
`fieldPromises` and `populationPromises` arrays, was itself part of the
**same** `fieldPromises` array.
The execution of this lexical `afterRead` hook itself is happening while
the `fieldPromises` array is being awaited. This means that new field
and population promises were being added to this same array DURING the
process of awaiting all promises of this array.
As a result, any promises dynamically added while awaiting the initial
set of fieldPromises were not included in the initial `Promise.all()`
awaiting process, leading to unhandled promises.
This PR resolves the issue by ensuring that promises are repeatedly
awaited until no new promises remain in the arrays. By continuously
awaiting the `fieldPromises` and `populationPromises` until all
dynamically added promises are fully resolved, this PR ensures that any
promises added during the processing of a parent promise are also
properly awaited. This guarantees that no promises are skipped,
preserving the intended behavior of the afterRead hook

Similar to #10742. Collection and global-level admin options are
currently documented within the "admin > collections" and "admin >
globals" pages, respectively. This makes them hard to find because
users, myself included, intuitively navigate to the collection and
global overview docs to locate this information before realizing it
lives elsewhere. Now, they are rendered within "configuration >
collections" and "configuration > globals" as expected and the old pages
have been removed altogether.
Continuation of #10741. Field-level admin options, including the
conditional logic and custom field components, are currently documented
within the "admin > customizing views" page. This makes them hard to
find because users, myself included, intuitively navigate to the fields
overview doc first to locate this information. Now, they are rendered
within "fields > overview" as expected. This should help keep the user
from jumping around from doc to doc and getting lost.
Although the "customizing fields" doc provides a big picture overview of
how to create custom field components, it is not explicit enough for
developers to know exactly where to start. For example, it can be
challenging to import the correct types when building these components,
and the natural place to go looking for this information is on the
fields docs themselves. Now, each field doc has its own dedicated
"custom components" section which provides concrete examples for fields
and field labels in both server and client component format, with more
examples to come over time such as using inputs directly, etc. In the
same vein, the "customizing fields" doc itself should probably be moved
to the fields overview section so it remains as intuitive as possible
when searching for this information.
- Blocks can now be selected (only inline blocks were possible before).
- Any DecoratorNode that users create will have the necessary logic out
of the box so that they are selected with a click and deleted with
backspace/delete.
- By having the code for selecting and deleting centralized, a lot of
repetitive code was eliminated
- More performant code due to the use of event delegation. There is only
one listener, previously there was one for each decoratorNode.
- Heuristics to exclude scenarios where you don't want to select the
node: if it is inside the DecoratorNode, but is also inside a button,
input, textarea, contentEditable, .react-select, .code-editor or
.no-select-decorator. That last one was added as a means of opt-out.

### What
This PR adds a filtering mechanism to exclude certain reserved fields
from being displayed in the `Edit Many` drawer for bulk uploads. This
ensures that only relevant fields are available for bulk editing.
### Why
Fields like `filename`, `mimeType`, and `filesize` are not intended to
be edited in bulk. Filtering these fields streamlines the interface and
focuses on fields that are meaningful for bulk operations.
### How
- Introduced a `filterOutUploadFields` utility to exclude reserved
fields from the field selection in bulk uploads.
- Applied this filter to the `Edit Many` drawer, ensuring a more
relevant and user-friendly experience.
- Reserved fields include properties like `file`, `mimeType`, `url`,
`width`, `height`, and others that are not applicable for bulk editing.
### What?
This PR introduces the ability to bulk edit multiple uploads
simultaneously within the `Edit all` option for bulk uploads. Users can
now select fields to update across all selected uploads in a single
operation.
### Why?
Managing multiple uploads individually can be time-consuming and
inefficient, especially when updating common fields. This feature
streamlines the process, improving user experience and productivity when
handling bulk uploads.
### How?
* Added an `Edit Many` drawer component specific to bulk uploads that
allows users to select fields for bulk editing.
* Enhanced the FormsManager and related logic to ensure updates are
applied consistently across all selected uploads.

- 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
Fixes an issue where pasting text over a selection will automatically
add it as a link instead of replacing the text. This is caused by poor
regex matching in the case of relative URLs.
Added tests and strengthened both absolute and relative URL matchers
