What

The Fields screen asks for a label and a kind only. AlphOne makes the field's name from the label, so Birth date becomes birthDate. A name already taken gets a number, such as birthDate2. The list shows each name under API name, and the screen refuses a label a field in the list already has.

The server refuses the seven names every JavaScript object already has, such as constructor. A migration moves a field stored under one of them to the next free name, with its values. A new reservedFieldNames query lists every name a field cannot take.

Defining an archived field again answers the id that field keeps.

Why

Testers did not know what to type as a field's name. A field named after a JavaScript member lost its value on every save. Archiving a field brought back from the archive failed with the id the API gave.

Testing Instructions

  1. Run make seed, then make demo, and sign in at http://localhost:8080 as admin@example.com with password1234.
  2. Open Fields. The seeded Birth date field shows birthDate under API name, and the form asks only for Label and Kind.
  3. Add a field labelled Birth date!. It shows birthDate2.
  4. Add a field labelled birth DATE. The screen says a field with that label already exists and adds nothing.
  5. Add a field labelled Constructor. It shows constructor2.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Field and repeater subfield names are generated from their labels. Names are checked against existing and reserved names, and duplicate labels are flagged.
    • The Fields screen identifies unavailable names and refreshes field data when definitions change.
    • Archived fields can be restored through the API when their kind and repeater subfields match; restoration retains the original field ID.
    • Names that conflict with built-in JavaScript properties are updated to available names.
  • Documentation
    • Updated field and API guides with naming, archiving, restoration, and import-mapping details. Fields named email or phone are excluded from the import mapping dropdown.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Fields screen now generates API names from labels and checks them against live fields, archived fields, and reserved names. The fields API rejects inherited JavaScript object names, migrates existing definitions with their values, and returns stored IDs when archived fields are restored.

Changes

Field definition behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reserved names and legacy data migration
plugins/fields/field.go, plugins/fields/graphql.go, plugins/fields/graph/*, graph/*, plugins/fields/migrations/*, plugins/fields/migration_internal_test.go, plugins/fields/field_internal_test.go, plugins/fields/graphql_test.go, test/features/*, docs/src/content/docs/reference/graphql-api.md
The fields API exposes reserved names and rejects inherited JavaScript object names. Migration 7 renames existing definitions and moves matching contact values. Tests cover reserved-name responses, refusals, and migration cases.
Archived definition identity
plugins/fields/store.go, plugins/fields/graphql.go, plugins/fields/*_internal_test.go, plugins/fields/graphql_test.go, test/features/*, docs/src/content/docs/guides/fields.md
store.define returns the stored definition ID, including when a compatible archived definition is restored. The GraphQL resolver returns that ID, with tests and API guidance covering restoration.
Label-derived names in the Fields screen

The Fields screen loads live and archived fields with reserved names, generates API names from labels, and handles duplicate labels and define refusals. Tests, translations, and the guide reflect label-based entry and generated names.

[High risk] Changes how field names are generated and validated across the system.

A ready import can have a column mapped to an existing field such as `constructor`. This migration renames the field to `constructor2` but leaves the saved mapping as `constructor`.

Summary

The PR reserves JavaScript-inherited field names, migrates existing field definitions and values, and updates the Fields screen. Saved import mappings are not migrated with renamed fields.

P1 Staged import mappings break

A ready import can have a column mapped to an existing field such as constructor. This migration renames the field to constructor2 but leaves the saved mapping as constructor. Committing the import then returns mapping_invalid and leaves its rows unimported. Update affected saved mappings as part of the rename before merging.

Knowledge Base Used: Data importer plugin

Artifacts

Authored database-backed import migration test source

  • The authored Go test stages an import, applies the actual migrations, and calls the importer commit path, providing the executable reproduction.

Import commit before the field rename

  • The PostgreSQL-backed test ran through migration 00006 and committed the import successfully, establishing the working baseline.

Import commit after the field rename

  • The same test applied migration 00007 and observed an unchanged mapping, a `mapping_invalid` commit error, and a pending row, confirming the defect.
