### What
Fixes a bug where collection docs paginate incorrectly when `timestamps:
false` is set — the same docs were appearing across multiple pages.
### Why
The `find` query sanitizes the `sort` parameter.
- With `timestamps: true`, it defaults to `createdAt`
- With `timestamps: false`, it falls back to `_id`
That logic is correct, but in `find.ts` we always passed `timestamps:
true`, ignoring the collection config. With the right sort applied,
pagination works as expected.
### How
`find.ts` now passes `collectionConfig.timestamps` to
`buildSortParam()`, ensuring the correct sort field is chosen.

Fixes#13888
Fixes an issue with the new experimental `enableListViewSelectAPI`
config option.
Group fields were not populating properly in the list view
### Before (incorrect)
```ts
{
group.field: true
}
```
### After (correct)
```ts
{
group: {
field: true
}
}
```
Adds a new property to the config that enables the Select API in the
list view. This is a performance opt-in, where only the active columns
(and those specified in `forceSelect`) are queried. This can greatly
improve performance, especially for collections with large documents or
many fields.
To enable this, use the `admin.enableListViewSelectAPI` in your
Collection Config:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
// ...
admin: {
enableListViewSelectAPI: true // This will select only the active columns (and any `forceSelect` fields)
}
}
```
Note: The `enableListViewSelectAPI` property is currently labeled as
experimental, as it will likely become the default behavior in v4 and be
deprecated. The reason it cannot be the default now is because cells or
other components may be relying on fully populated data, which will no
longer be the case when using `select`.
For example, if your component relies on a "title" field, this field
will _**not**_ exist if the column is **_inactive_**:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
// ...
fields: [
// ...
{
name: 'myField',
type: 'text',
hooks: {
afterRead: [
({ doc }) => doc.title // `title` will only be populated if the column is active
]
}
}
]
}
```
There are other cases that might be affected by this change as well, for
example any components relying on the `data` object returned by the
`useListQuery()` hook:
```ts
'use client'
export const MyComponent = () => {
const { data } = useListQuery() // `data.docs` will only contain fields that are selected
// ...
}
```
To ensure title is always present, you will need to add that field to
the `forceSelect` property in your Collection Config:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
// ...
forceSelect: {
title: true
}
}
```

### What?
- Fixed an issue where virtual relationship fields (`virtual: string`,
e.g. `post.title`) could not be used in the WhereBuilder filter
dropdown.
- Ensured regular virtual fields (`virtual: true`) are still excluded
since they are not backed by database fields.
### Why?
Previously, attempting to filter by a virtual relationship caused
runtime errors because the field was treated as a plain text field. At
the same time, non-queryable virtuals needed to remain excluded to avoid
invalid queries.
### How?
- Updated `reduceFieldsToOptions` to recognize `virtual: string` fields
and map them to their underlying path while keeping their declared type
and operators.
- Continued to filter out `virtual: true` fields in the same guard used
for hidden/disabled fields.
### What?
Update `SelectFieldBaseClientProps` type so `value` accepts `string[]`
for `hasMany` selects
### Why?
Multi-selects currently error with “Type 'string[]' is not assignable to
type 'string'”.
### How?
- Change `value?: string` to `value?: string | string[]`
- Also adds additional multi select custom component to `admin` test
suite for testing

### What?
This PR makes `filterFields` recurse into **fields with subfields**
(e.g., tabs, row, group, collapsible, array) so nested fields with
`admin.disableListColumn: true` (or hidden/disabled fields) are properly
excluded.
### Why?
Nested fields with `admin.disableListColumn: true` were still appearing
in the list view.
Example: a text field inside a `row` or `group` continued to show as a
column despite being marked `disableListColumn`.
### How?
- Call `filterFields` recursively for `tab.fields` and for any field
exposing a `fields` array.
Fixes#13496
Catches list filter errors and prevents the list view from crashing when
attempting to search on fields the user does not have access to. Instead
just shows the default "no results found" message.
Supersedes #12992. Partially closes#12975.
Right now autosave-enabled documents opened within a drawer will
unnecessarily remount on every autosave interval, causing loss of input
focus, etc. This makes it nearly impossible to edit these documents,
especially if the interval is very short.
But the same is true for non-autosave documents when "manually" saving,
e.g. pressing the "save draft" or "publish changes" buttons. This has
gone largely unnoticed, however, as the user has already lost focus of
the form to interact with these controls, and they somewhat expect this
behavior or at least accept it.
Now, the form remains mounted across autosave events and the user's
cursor never loses focus. Much better.

Introduces the ability to customize the order of both default and custom
tabs. This way you can make custom tabs appear before default ones, or
change the order of tabs as you see fit.
To do this, use the new `tab.order` property in your edit view's config:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export const MyCollectionConfig: CollectionConfig = {
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
edit: {
myCustomView: {
path: '/my-custom-view',
Component: '/path/to/component',
tab: {
href: '/my-custom-view',
order: 100, // This will put this tab in the first position
},
}
}
}
}
}
}
```

Simplifies the rendering logic around document tabs in the following
ways:
- Merges default tabs with custom tabs in a more predictable way, now
there is only a single array of tabs to iterate over, no more concept of
"custom" tabs vs "default" tabs, there's now just "tabs"
- Deduplicates rendering conditions for all tabs, now any changes to
default tabs would also apply to custom tabs with half the code
- Removes unnecessary `getCustomViews` function, this is a relic of the
past
- Removes unnecessary `getViewConfig` function, this is a relic of the
past
- Removes unused `references`, `relationships`, and `version` key
placeholders, these are relics of the past
- Prevents tab conditions from running twice unnecessarily
- Other misc. cleanup like unnecessarily casting the tab conditions
result to a boolean, etc.
## What
Adds a new custom component called `editMenuItems` that can be used in
the document view.
This options allows users to inject their own custom components into the
dropdown menu found in the document controls (the 3 dot menu), the
provided component(s) will be added below the default existing actions
(Create New, Duplicate, Delete and so on).
## Why
To increase flexibility and customization for users who wish to add
functionality to this menu. This provides a clean and consistent way to
add additional actions without needing to override or duplicate existing
UI logic.
## How
- Introduced the `editMenuItems` slot in the document controls dropdown
(three-dot menu) - in edit and preview tabs.
- Added documentation and tests to cover this new custom component
#### Testing
Use the `admin` test suite and go to the `edit menu items` collection
### What
Continuation of #7355 by extending the functionality to named tabs.
Updates `flattenFields` to hoist nested fields inside named tabs to the
top-level field array when `moveSubFieldsToTop` is enabled.
Also fixes an issue where group fields with custom cells were being
flattened out.
Now, group fields with a custom cell components remain available as
top-level columns.
Fixes#12563
### 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.
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.
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?
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.
### 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
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.

## 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#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.
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.
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.
Fixes#10234. Some fields, such as focal point fields for upload enabled
collections, were rendering in the condition selector despite being
hidden from the column selector. This was because the logic for the
column selector was filtering fields without labels, but the same was
not being done for the filter conditions. This, however, is not a good
way to filter these fields as it requires this specific logic to be
written in multiple places. Instead, they need to explicitly check for
`hidden` and `disabled` in addition to `disableListFilter` and
`disableListColumn`. The actual filtering logic has been improved across
the two instances as well, removing multiple duplicative loops.
This change has also exposed a underlying issue with the way columns
were handled within the table columns provider. When row selections were
enabled, the selector columns were present in column state. This caused
problems when interacting with column indices, such as when reordering
columns. Instead of needing to manually filter these out every time we
need to work with column state, they no longer appear there in the first
place. Instead, we inject the row selectors directly into the table
itself, completely isolating these row selectors from the column state.
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.
When using various controls within the List View, those selections are
sometimes not persisted. This is especially evident when selecting
`perPage` from the List View, where the URL and UI would reflect this
selection, but the controls would be stale. Similarly, after changing
`perPage` then navigating to another page through the pagination
controls, `perPage` would reset back to the original value. Same with
the sort controls, where sorting by a particular column would not be
reflected in the UI. This was because although we modify the URL search
params and fire off a new query with those changes, we were not updating
local component state.
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.
### What?
It became possible for fields to reset to a defined `defaultValue` when
bulk editing from the `edit-many` drawer.
### Why?
The form-state of all fields were being considered during a bulk edit -
this also meant using their initial states - this meant any fields with
default values or nested fields (`arrays`) would be overwritten with
their initial states
I.e. empty values or default values.
### How?
Now - we only send through the form data of the fields specifically
being edited in the edit-many drawer and ignore all other fields.
Leaving all other fields stay their current values.

Currently, Payload renders all custom components on initial compile of
the admin panel. This is problematic for two key reasons:
1. Custom components do not receive contextual data, i.e. fields do not
receive their field data, edit views do not receive their document data,
etc.
2. Components are unnecessarily rendered before they are used
This was initially required to support React Server Components within
the Payload Admin Panel for two key reasons:
1. Fields can be dynamically rendered within arrays, blocks, etc.
2. Documents can be recursively rendered within a "drawer" UI, i.e.
relationship fields
3. Payload supports server/client component composition
In order to achieve this, components need to be rendered on the server
and passed as "slots" to the client. Currently, the pattern for this is
to render custom server components in the "client config". Then when a
view or field is needed to be rendered, we first check the client config
for a "pre-rendered" component, otherwise render our client-side
fallback component.
But for the reasons listed above, this pattern doesn't exactly make
custom server components very useful within the Payload Admin Panel,
which is where this PR comes in. Now, instead of pre-rendering all
components on initial compile, we're able to render custom components
_on demand_, only as they are needed.
To achieve this, we've established [this
pattern](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/8481) of React
Server Functions in the Payload Admin Panel. With Server Functions, we
can iterate the Payload Config and return JSX through React's
`text/x-component` content-type. This means we're able to pass
contextual props to custom components, such as data for fields and
views.
## Breaking Changes
1. Add the following to your root layout file, typically located at
`(app)/(payload)/layout.tsx`:
```diff
/* THIS FILE WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY BY PAYLOAD. */
/* DO NOT MODIFY IT BECAUSE IT COULD BE REWRITTEN AT ANY TIME. */
+ import type { ServerFunctionClient } from 'payload'
import config from '@payload-config'
import { RootLayout } from '@payloadcms/next/layouts'
import { handleServerFunctions } from '@payloadcms/next/utilities'
import React from 'react'
import { importMap } from './admin/importMap.js'
import './custom.scss'
type Args = {
children: React.ReactNode
}
+ const serverFunctions: ServerFunctionClient = async function (args) {
+ 'use server'
+ return handleServerFunctions({
+ ...args,
+ config,
+ importMap,
+ })
+ }
const Layout = ({ children }: Args) => (
<RootLayout
config={config}
importMap={importMap}
+ serverFunctions={serverFunctions}
>
{children}
</RootLayout>
)
export default Layout
```
2. If you were previously posting to the `/api/form-state` endpoint, it
no longer exists. Instead, you'll need to invoke the `form-state` Server
Function, which can be done through the _new_ `getFormState` utility:
```diff
- import { getFormState } from '@payloadcms/ui'
- const { state } = await getFormState({
- apiRoute: '',
- body: {
- // ...
- },
- serverURL: ''
- })
+ const { getFormState } = useServerFunctions()
+
+ const { state } = await getFormState({
+ // ...
+ })
```
## Breaking Changes
```diff
- useFieldProps()
- useCellProps()
```
More details coming soon.

This PR aims to fix a few issues with the notFound page and custom views
so it matches v2 behaviour:
- Non authorised users should always be redirected to the login page
regardless if not found or valid URL
- Previously notFound would render for non users too potentially
exposing valid but protected routes and creating a confusing workflow as
the UI was being rendered as well
- Custom views are now public by default
- in our `admin` test suite, the `/admin/public-custom-view` is
accessible to non users but
`/admin/public-custom-view/protected-nested-view` is not unless the
checkbox is true in the Settings global, there's e2e coverage for this
- Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8716
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8205
Adds `resetColumnsState` method to `useTableColumns` return
Example of a `BeforeList` component for column state reset:
```ts
'use client'
import { Pill, useTableColumns } from '@payloadcms/ui'
function ResetDefaultColumnsButton() {
const { resetColumnsState } = useTableColumns()
return <Pill onClick={resetColumnsState}>Reset to default columns</Pill>
}
export { ResetDefaultColumnsButton }
```
Additionally, fixes that `setActiveColumns` didn't respect the passed
order of columns and didn't update the UI immediately
## Description
Threads the field config to all "field subcomponents" through props,
i.e. field label, description, error, etc. This way, the field config
that controls any particular component is easily accessible and strongly
typed, i.e. `props.field.maxLength`. This is true for both server and
client components, whose server-side props are now also contextually
typed. This behavior was temporarily removed in #7474 due to bloating
HTML, but has since been resolved in #7620. This PR also makes
significant improvements to component types by exporting explicit types
for _every component of every field_, each with its own client/server
variation. Now, a custom component can look something like this:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldLabelServerComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const CustomLabel: TextFieldLabelServerComponent = (props) => {
return (
<div>{`The max length of this field is: ${props?.field?.maxLength}`}</div>
)
}
```
The following types are now available:
```ts
import type {
TextFieldClientComponent,
TextFieldServerComponent,
TextFieldLabelClientComponent,
TextFieldLabelServerComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionClientComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionServerComponent,
TextFieldErrorClientComponent,
TextFieldErrorServerComponent,
// ...and so one for each field
} from 'payload'
```
BREAKING CHANGES:
In order to strictly type these components, a few breaking changes have
been made _solely to type definitions_. This only effects you if you are
heavily using custom components.
Old
```ts
import type { ErrorComponent, LabelComponent, DescriptionComponent } from 'payload'
```
New:
```ts
import type {
FieldErrorClientComponent,
FieldErrorServerComponent,
FieldLabelClientComponent,
FieldLabelServerComponent,
FieldDescriptionClientComponent,
FieldDescriptionServerComponent,
// Note: these are the generic, underlying types of the more stricter types described above ^
// For example, you should use the type that is explicit for your particular field and environment
// i.e. `TextFieldLabelClientComponent` and not simply `FieldLabelClientComponent`
} from 'payload'
```
