Bug Fixes
PostgreSQL Migration Creation Errors
Fixed an issue where the migrate:create command would fail when working with previous schemas in PostgreSQL. This resolves issue #8782, ensuring more reliable database migration workflows for PostgreSQL users.
Document Duplication with Select HasMany Fields
Resolved a bug that caused issues when duplicating documents containing select fields with hasMany: true option. The fix prevents sending the ID of the current document to the post/patch payload during duplication, which was causing conflicts specifically with PostgreSQL. This addresses issue #6522.
New Features
No new features were added in this release.
Security Updates
No security fixes were included in this release.
Performance Improvements
No specific performance improvements were included in this release.
Impact Summary
This release focuses on bug fixes that improve compatibility and reliability, particularly for PostgreSQL users. The fixes address specific issues with database migrations and document duplication functionality.
The PostgreSQL migration fix ensures that developers can reliably create migrations when working with previous schemas, preventing errors during the database migration workflow.
The select field duplication fix resolves an issue where duplicating documents with hasMany: true select fields would cause problems, particularly in PostgreSQL environments. This improves the content editing experience by ensuring that document duplication works correctly in all scenarios.
While these changes are targeted at specific use cases, they contribute to the overall stability of Payload CMS, especially for users leveraging PostgreSQL as their database solution.
