Describe the Bug

Hi i have a collection courses with multiple relations to other collections. After updating to the newest version of payload i get a strange behaviour when trying to add a relation for a single course(seen in video)

This is my Course Collection

message.txt

and this my organizer collection

import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'

import { anyone } from '../access/anyone'
import { authenticated } from '../access/authenticated'
import { isValidURL } from '@/utilities/validUrl'

export const Organizers: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'organizers',
  labels: {
    singular: {
      en: 'Organizer',
      de: 'Organisator',
    },
    plural: {
      en: 'Organizers',
      de: 'Organisatoren',
    },
  },
  access: {
    create: authenticated,
    delete: authenticated,
    read: anyone,
    update: authenticated,
  },
  admin: {
    useAsTitle: 'title',
  },
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'title',
      type: 'text',
      required: true,
    },
    {
      name: 'mail',
      type: 'email',
      required: true,
    },
    {
      name: 'url',
      type: 'text',
      required: false,
      validate: (value) => {
        if (!value) return true // Allow empty values
        return isValidURL(value) || 'Invalid URL'
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'adress',
      type: 'group',
      fields: [
        { name: 'street', type: 'text' },
        {
          type: 'row',
          fields: [
            { name: 'zip', type: 'text' },
            { name: 'city', type: 'text' },
          ],
        },
      ],
      admin: {
        components: {
          Cell: '/components/Payload/AdressCell',
        },
      },
    },
    { name: 'relatedCourses', type: 'join', collection: 'courses', on: 'organizer' },
  ],
}

if i try to change something it only shows an error.
It happens only if a upgrade to version 3.26.0 or above. in version 3.25.0 it still works.
it says "no title" in the api view there is clearly a title

this is the error message i get when i try to change the field organizer or categories

Can you try that on 3.27.0?

maxkarkowski · 2025-03-07T18:58:18Z

Can you try that on 3.27.0?

@r1tsuu already did. still the same error

What if you sync indexes for the courses collection? Create a migration with pnpm payload migrate:create and write there:

await payload.db.collections.courses.syncIndexes()

The only change that we did is that now if you have a join field - the target relationship is indexed by default. I think it shouldn't cause any issues though.

where exactly should i append the syncIndexex() function?. do i need to run another migrate command after that?

i added the line of code to the migration file and run payload migrate.

then i run pnpm run dev again but still the same issue.

I even did npm run payload migrate:fresh and drop my whole database with it. after creating a new course and a new organizer the error still occurs

when i delete the join field in the organizer collection it works, so the only way for now is to get rid of my join fields

anyway you could help with that?
