### What?
If an error occurs while unpublishing a document in the edit view UI,
the toast which shows the error message now displays the actual message
which is sent from the server, if available.
### Why?
Only a generic error message was shown if an unpublish operation failed.
Some errors might be solvable by the user, so that there is value in
showing the actual, actionable error message instead of a generic one.
### How?
The server response is parsed for error message if an unpublish
operation fails and displayed in the toast, instead of the generic error
message.

### 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?
Extends trigger of a reload of the fields for RelationshipFilter to
include `filterOptions`.
### Why?
If you have two or more relationship fields that have a relation to the
same collection, the options of the filter will not update.
### How
By extending dependencies of `useEffect`
### Code setup:
```
{
name: 'media',
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'media',
filterOptions: () => {
return {
id: { in: ['67efaee24648d01dffceecf9'] },
}
}
},
{
name: 'media2',
type: 'relationship',

### 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?
Selected documents in a relationship field can be opened in a new tab.
### Why?
Related documents can be edited using the edit icon which opens the
document in a drawer. Sometimes users would like to open the document in
a new tab instead to e.g. modify the related document at a later point
in time. This currently requires users to find the related document via
the list view and open it there. There is no easy way to find and open a
related document.
### How?
Adds custom handling to the relationship edit button to support opening
it in a new tab via middle-click, Ctrl+click, or right-click → 'Open in
new tab'.

In this case, the `blockType` property is created on the server, but -
prior to this fix - was discarded on the client in
[`fieldReducer.ts`](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/ui/src/forms/Form/fieldReducer.ts#L186-L198)
via
[`mergerServerFormState.ts`](b9832f40e4/packages/ui/src/forms/Form/mergeServerFormState.ts (L29-L31)),
because the field's path neither existed in the client's form state, nor
was it marked as `addedByServer`.
This caused later calls to POST requests to form state to send without
the `blockType` key for block rows, which in turn caused
`addFieldStatePromise.ts` to throw the following error:
```
Block with type "undefined" was found in block data, but no block with that type is defined in the config for field with schema path ${schemaPath}.
```
This prevented the client side form state update from completing, and if
the form state was saved, broke the document.
This is a follow-up to #12131, which treated the symptom, but not the
cause. The original issue seems to have been introduced in
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/releases/tag/v3.34.0. It's unclear
to me whether this issue is connected to block E2E tests having been
disabled in the same release in
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11988.
## How to reproduce
### Collection configuration
```ts
const RICH_TEXT_BLOCK_TYPE = 'richTextBlockType'
const RichTextBlock: Block = {
slug: RICH_TEXT_BLOCK_TYPE,
interfaceName: 'RichTextBlock',
fields: [
{
name: 'richTextBlockField',
label: 'Rich Text Field in Block Field',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor({}),
required: true,
},
],
}
const MyCollection: CollectionConfig = {
slug: 'my-collection-slug,
fields: [
{
name: 'arrayField',
label: 'Array Field',
type: 'array',
fields: [
{
name: 'blockField',
type: 'blocks',
blocks: [RichTextBlock],
required: true,
},
],
},
]
}
export default MyCollection
```
### Steps
- Press "Add Array Field"
--> ✅ 1st block with rich text is added
- Press "Add Array Field" a 2nd time
### Result
- 🛑 2nd block is indefinitely in loading state (side-note: the form UI
should preferably explicitly indicate the error).
- 🛑 If saving the document, it is corrupted and will only show a blank
page (also not indicating any error).
Client side:

API error:
<img width="1272" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/35dc65f7-88ac-4397-b8d4-353bcf6a4bfd"
/>
Client side, when saving and re-opening document (API error of `GET
/admin/collections/${myCollection}/${documentId}` is the same (arguably
the HTTP response status code shouldn't be `200`)):
<img width="1281" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2e916eb5-6f10-4e82-9b84-1dc41db21d47"
/>
### Result after fix
- `blockType` is sent from the client to the server.
- ✅ 2nd block with rich text is added.
- ✅ Document does not break when saving & re-opening.

### 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?
Improve performance of the relationship select options by reducing the
fetched documents to only necessary data.
### Why?
The relationship select only requires an ID and title. Fetching the
whole document instead leads to slow performance on collections with
large documents.
### How?
Add a select parameter to the query, the same way it is done in the
[WhereBuilder](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/ui/src/elements/WhereBuilder/Condition/Relationship/index.tsx#L105-L107)
already.
### What?
Using the `Copy To Locale` function causes validation errors on content
with `id` fields in postgres, since these should be unique.
```
key not found: error:valueMustBeUnique
key not found: error:followingFieldsInvalid
[13:11:29] ERROR: There was an error copying data from "en" to "de"
err: {
"type": "ValidationError",
"message": "error:followingFieldsInvalid id",
"stack":
ValidationError: error:followingFieldsInvalid id
```
### Why?
In `packages/ui/src/utilities/copyDataFromLocale.ts` we are passing all
data from `fromLocaleData` including the `id` fields, which causes
duplicates on fields with unique id's like `Blocks` and `Arrays`.
### How?
To resolve this i implemented a function that recursively remove any
`id` field on the passed data.

### What?
This fixes an issue raised by @maximseshuk in this PR #11553. Here is
the text of the original comment:
If the field has the property hasMany: true and you select one item, it
shows up in the select field, but any additional selected items won't be
visible in the select field, even though the data is actually there and
can be saved. After refreshing the page, they appear.
In addition I added a fix to an issue where the filterOptions weren't
being passed in to the useListDrawer hook properly in polymorphic
relationships
### How?
Instead of using the push method to update the value state, a new array
is created and directly set using useState. I think the issue was
because using push mutates the original array.

### What?
This PR ensures defaultSort is reflected in join tables.
### Why?
Currently, default sort is not reflected in the join table state. The
data _is_ sorted correctly, but the table state sort is undefined. This
is mainly an issue for join fields with `orderable: true` because you
can't re-order the table until `order` is the selected sort column.
### How?
Added `defaultSort` prop to the `<ListQueryProvider />` in the
`<RelationshipTable />` and ensured the default state gets set in
`<ListQueryProvider />` when `modifySearchParams` is false.

### 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 adds a new `showSaveDraftButton` option to the
`versions.drafts.autosave` config for collections and globals.
By default, the "Save as draft" button is hidden when autosave is
enabled. This new option allows the button to remain visible for manual
saves while autosave is active.
Also updates the admin UI logic to conditionally render the button when
this flag is set, and updates the documentation with an example usage.
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.
Removes `$undefined` strings from being sent through the network when
sending form state requests. When adding new array rows, we assign
`blockType: undefined` which is stringified to `"$undefined"`. This is
unnecessary, as simply not sending this property is equivalent, and this
is only a requirement for blocks. This change will save on request size,
albeit minimal.

### What?
Adjusts the `ChevronIcon` component to match the sizing of other icons
in the `ui` package. Also adds various styling adjustments to places
where icons are used.
### Why?
Using the `ChevronIcon` in other elements currently requires different
styling to make it consistent with other icons. This will make it so
that any usage of the any icons is consistent across components.
### How?
Resizes the `ChevronIcon` components and updates styling throughout the
admin panel.
When server rendering custom components within form state, those
components receive a path that is correct at render time, but
potentially stale after manipulating array and blocks rows. This causes
the field to briefly render incorrect values while the form state
request is in flight.
The reason for this is that paths are passed as a prop statically into
those components. Then when we manipulate rows, form state is modified,
potentially changing field paths. The component's `path` prop, however,
hasn't changed. This means it temporarily points to the wrong field in
form state, rendering the data of another row until the server responds
with a freshly rendered component.
This is not an issue with default Payload fields as they are rendered on
the client and can be passed dynamic props.
This is only an issue within custom server components, including rich
text fields which are treated as custom components. Since they are
rendered on the server and passed to the client, props are inaccessible
after render.
The fix for this is to provide paths dynamically through context. This
way as we make changes to form state, there is a mechanism in which
server components can receive the updated path without waiting on its
props to update.
### 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

Fixes an issue where an autosave being triggered would turn off the
ability to schedule a publish. This happened because we check against
`modified` on the form but with autosave modified is always true.
Now we make an exception for autosave enabled collections when checking
the modified state.
### What?
`OrderableTable` doesn't respect a user-sepcified `routes.api` value and
instead uses the default `/api`
### Why?
See #12080
### How?
Gets `config` via `useConfig`, and uses `config.routes.api` in the
`fetch` for reordering.
Fixes#12080
### What?
This PR corrects a typo in an error message and removes a console.log from the `orderBeforeChangeHook` hook.
### Why?
An error message contains a typo, and every time I reorder an orderable collection, `do not enter` gets logged.

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.
This PR adds a new `SchedulePublish` config type on our schedulePublish
configuration in versions from being just boolean.
Two new options are supported:
- `timeFormat` which controls the formatting of the time slots, allowing
users to change from a 12-hour clock to a 24-hour clock (default to 12
hour)
- `timeIntervals` which controls the generated time slots (default 5)
Example configuration:
```
versions: {
drafts: {
schedulePublish: {
timeFormat: 'HH:mm',
timeIntervals: 5,
},
},
},
```
Fixes form state race conditions. Modifying state while a request is in
flight or while the response is being processed could result in those
changes being overridden.
This was happening for a few reasons:
1. Our merge logic was incorrect. We were disregarding local changes to
state that may have occurred while form state requests are pending. This
was because we were iterating over local state, then while building up
new state, we were ignoring any fields that did not exist in the server
response, like this:
```ts
for (const [path, newFieldState] of Object.entries(existingState)) {
if (!incomingState[path]) {
continue
}
// ...
}
```
To fix this, we need to use local state as the source of truth. Then
when the server state arrives, we need to iterate over _that_. If a
field matches in local state, merge in any new properties. This will
ensure all changes to the underlying state are preserved, including any
potential addition or deletions.
However, this logic breaks down if the server might have created _new_
fields, like when populating array rows. This means they, too, would be
ignored. To get around this, there is a new `addedByServer` property
that flags new fields to ensure they are kept.
This new merge strategy also saves an additional loop over form state.
1. We were merging form state based on a mutable ref. This meant that
changes made within one action cause concurrent actions to have dirty
reads. The fix for this is to merge in an isolated manner by copying
state. This will remove any object references. It is generally not good
practice to mutate state without setting it, anyways, as this causes
mismatches between what is rendered and what is in memory.
1. We were merging server form state directly within an effect, then
replacing state entirely. This meant that if another action took place
at the exact moment in time _after_ merge but _before_ dispatch, the
results of that other action would be completely overridden. The fix for
this is to perform the merge within the reducer itself. This will ensure
that we are working with a trustworthy snapshot of state at the exact
moment in time that the action was invoked, and that React can properly
queue the event within its lifecycle.
### What?
The `in` & `not_in` operators were not properly working for `text`
fields as this operator requires an array of values for it's input.
### How?
Conditionally renders a multi select input for `text` fields when
filtering by `in` & `not_in` operators.
Trying to understand why bug #12002 arose, I found that both the `sort`
and `hooks` test suites are not running in CI.
I'm adding those 2 suites to the array, though later we should find a
way to automate this so it doesn't happen again. Manually rewriting all
test suites in the GitHub action is error-prone. It's very easy to
forget to add it when creating a new test suite
### What?
In the List View, row data related to images and relationships gets
stuck when you go from one page to another.
### Why?
The `key` we are providing is not unique and not triggering the DOM to
update.
### How?
Uses the `row id` as a unique key prop to each table row to ensure
proper re-rendering of rows during pagination.
#### Testing
Adds e2e test to `upload` test suite. You can recreate the issue using
the `upload` test suite and new `list view preview` collection.
### What?
The `in` & `not_in` operators were not properly working for `number`
fields as this operator requires an array of values for it's input.
### How?
Conditionally renders a multi select input for `number` fields when
filtering by `in` & `not_in` operators.
### 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
### What?
UI only issue: An array row with `required: false` and `minRows: x` was
displaying an error banner - this should only happen if one or more rows
are present.
The validation is not affected, the document still saved as expected,
but the error should not be inaccurately displayed.
### Why?
The logic for displaying the `minRow` validation error was `rows.length
> minRows` and it needs to be `rows.length > 1 && rows.length > minRows`
### How?
Updates the UI logic.
Fixes#12010
### What?
This PR addresses a bug where image edits (crop, focal point, etc.) were
not persisting correctly in bulk uploads due to shared state logic with
single uploads.
### How?
- The `Upload` component now receives `uploadEdits`, `resetUploadEdits`,
and `updateUploadEdits` as props.
- `Upload_v4` was introduced to encapsulate the actual upload logic,
making it easier to reuse and test.
- The `AddingFilesView` and `EditForm` components are responsible for
injecting the correct `uploadEdits` state, depending on context.
- Avoided unnecessary `useFormsManager` usage in `Upload`.
Fixes#11868
### What?
This PR relaxes the mimeType checks in the thumbnail and file cell
components to accommodate an `adminThumbnail` even if the file is a
non-image. This is useful when, for example, using an `adminThumbnail`
function to retrieve or generate thumbnails for files that are
non-images such as videos.
### Why?
To prioritize an admin thumbnail if/when available on file cells and
upload field thumbnails in both edit and list views.
### How?
By relaxing the mimeType checks in the `Thumbnail` component and instead
lifting that responsibility on the caller of this component. Some of
these checks were not needed as the best-fit helper utility function
will automatically select the thumbnailURL if available or revert to the
original url if no best-fit is found.
Demo of admin thumbnail being loaded on non-image while still selecting
best-fit size for images:

Significantly optimizes the component rendering strategy within the form
state endpoint by precisely rendering only the fields that require it.
This cuts down on server processing and network response sizes when
invoking form state requests **that manipulate array and block rows
which contain server components**, such as rich text fields, custom row
labels, etc. (results listed below).
Here's a breakdown of the issue:
Previously, when manipulating array and block fields, _all_ rows would
render any server components that might exist within them, including
rich text fields. This means that subsequent changes to these fields
would potentially _re-render_ those same components even if they don't
require it.
For example, if you have an array field with a rich text field within
it, adding the first row would cause the rich text field to render,
which is expected. However, when you add a second row, the rich text
field within the first row would render again unnecessarily along with
the new row.
This is especially noticeable for fields with many rows, where every
single row processes its server components and returns RSC data. And
this does not only affect nested rich text fields, but any custom
component defined on the field level, as these are handled in the same
way.
The reason this was necessary in the first place was to ensure that the
server components receive the proper data when they are rendered, such
as the row index and the row's data. Changing one of these rows could
cause the server component to receive the wrong data if it was not
freshly rendered.
While this is still a requirement that rows receive up-to-date props, it
is no longer necessary to render everything.
Here's a breakdown of the actual fix:
This change ensures that only the fields that are actually being
manipulated will be rendered, rather than all rows. The existing rows
will remain in memory on the client, while the newly rendered components
will return from the server. For example, if you add a new row to an
array field, only the new row will render its server components.
To do this, we send the path of the field that is being manipulated to
the server. The server can then use this path to determine for itself
which fields have already been rendered and which ones need required
rendering.
## Results
The following results were gathered by booting up the `form-state` test
suite and seeding 100 array rows, each containing a rich text field. To
invoke a form state request, we navigate to a document within the
"posts" collection, then add a new array row to the list. The result is
then saved to the file system for comparison.
| Test Suite | Collection | Number of Rows | Before | After | Percentage
Change |
|------|------|---------|--------|--------|--------|
| `form-state` | `posts` | 101 | 1.9MB / 266ms | 80KB / 70ms | ~96%
smaller / ~75% faster |

When manipulating array and blocks rows on slow networks, rows can
sometimes disappear and then reappear as requests in the queue arrive.
Consider this scenario:
1. You add a row to form state: this pushes the row in local state
optimistically then triggers a long-running form state request
containing a single row
2. You add another row to form state: this pushes a second row into
local state optimistically then triggers another long-running form state
request containing two rows
3. The first form state request returns with a single row in the
response and replaces local state (which contained two rows)
4. AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, THE SECOND ROW DISAPPEARS
5. The second form state request returns with two rows in the response
and replaces local state
6. THE UI IS NO LONGER STALE AND BOTH ROWS APPEAR AS EXPECTED
The same issue applies when deleting, moving, and duplicating rows.
Local state becomes out of sync with the form state response and is
ultimately overridden.
The issue is that when we merge the result from form state, we do not
traverse the rows themselves, and instead take the rows in their
entirety. This means that we lose local row state. Instead, we need to
compare the results with what is saved to local state and intelligently
merge them.

### What?
This PR introduces a new `DragOverlay` to the existing `OrderableTable`
component along with a few new utility components. This enables a more
fluid and seamless drag-and-drop experience for end-users who have
enabled `orderable: true` on their collections.
### Why?
Previously, the rows in the `OrderableTable` component were confined
within the table element that renders them. This is troublesome for a
few reasons:
- It clips rows when dragging even slightly outside of the bounds of the
table.
- It creates unnecessary scrollbars within the containing element as the
container is not geared for comprehensive drag-and-drop interactions.
### How?
Introducing a `DragOverlay` component gives the draggable rows an area
to render freely without clipping. This PR also introduces a new
`OrderableRow` (for rendering orderable rows in the table as well as in
a drag preview), and an `OrderableRowDragPreview` component to render a
drag-preview of the active row 1:1 as you would see in the table without
violating HTML rules.
This PR also adds an `onDragStart` event handler to the
`DraggableDroppable` component to allow for listening for the start of a
drag event, necessary for interactions with a `DragOverlay` to
communicate which row initiated the event.
