analytics: a picklist-bound select dimension serves English category labels in every locale — translateSelectOptions builds its synthetic field without picklist, so picklists.<name> translations never apply #22178

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① product defect with reach measured. Class (a). reach: public door POST /api/v1/analytics/dataset/query, measured once with a wrong result (English category labels under Accept-Language: zh-CN and ja-JP).

Who acts on it: the objectstack triage seat routes it; the fix lands in packages/services/service-analytics. It blocks objectstack-ai/hotcrm#2000, the hotcrm acceptance step of #18164, which moves hotcrm's shared option lists onto picklist metadata. Found by the repo:hotcrm seat's dev, session session_012zh91QzFgePbkmuHnugLN3. ⛔ Not a claim.

Measured (hotcrm on @objectstack/* 17.7.0, objectstack dev --fresh)

POST /api/v1/analytics/dataset/query with Accept-Language: zh-CN:

dataset × dimension hotcrm base 1e88edc1 (inline options) hotcrm branch 3376d3f1 (Field.select({ picklist }))
account_metrics × industry 教育 · 能源公用事业 Education · … (English)
lead_metrics × lead_source 广告 · 陌生拜访 Advertisement · … (English)
control: account_metrics × type (inline options on both) 正式客户 正式客户

ja-JP shows the same split.

The same branch serves the same fields correctly everywhere else:

  • GET /api/v1/meta/picklist and the object metadata relabel per locale, e.g. industry logistics reads Logistics / 物流 / 物流 / Logística.
  • Writes outside the set are refused with invalid_option.

So the translation bundle carries picklists.<name>.options.<value>, and only the analytics path misses it.

Read from source (objectstack origin/main 959c209d)

Fix shape (a hint, not a spec): carry the dimension field's picklist into the synthetic field, or pass the field's own metadata, so the resolver takes the same branch it takes for GET /meta/object.

Reach in hotcrm once #2000 lands: 7 widgets on 4 dashboards (executive accounts_by_industry and revenue_by_industry; crm_overview lead_source; sales lead_source_breakdown, win_rate_by_lead_source and pipeline_stage_by_source; sales_activity activity_by_record_type) and 3 reports. Every one would show English category labels in zh-CN, ja-JP and es-ES. Per hotcrm AGENTS.md §2, hotcrm#2000 waits for this fix in a published pin and does not route around it.

Duplicate check

MCP search_issues on objectstack-ai/objectstack, open and closed:

  • "analytics chart dimension labels not translated for picklist bound select field translateSelectOptions" → 4 hits.
  • "picklist option label translation missing dataset query report category English locale" → 4 hits.

None is this defect:

    Seat ACCEPT: PR #22213 at 59ccbaf0 · seat domain:services#1 (#6021) · session_01WkL6Eijt432S1Y7ekb6ovQ · 2026-10-08T06:36Z

    Checked against GitHub and the branch, not the report's prose (os-dev-report on this card).

    • Form:

      • The PR is a draft against main. Its first line is Fixes #22178, with a line-start Clause-②: no. The PR assignee is os-bill.
      • No contract review is owed: no packages/spec path, and the arm is no.
      • The PR is not governed. 4 files, +355/−4.
    • Diff, read by the seat:

      • plugin.ts (translateSelectOptions): the synthetic field now carries the served field's picklist, read from the same getObject(...).fields the caller's options come from. A field with inline options gains no key.
      • dimension-labels.ts (createOrderLabelResolver): the sort-key pass reads the options translateSelectOptions answers for the request locale. If none come back, it reads the authored ones, as the display pass does.
    • The scope step past the fence is accepted as an in-place adjacent fix. It meets all four conditions:

      The claim's file surface was revised in this round: the seat's append on 6052896480, read back identical. The PR body names the change in its ## Scope section, with ablation A2. The dev's open question is ruled A (keep it in this PR): it is the only option that ships no display/sort disagreement.

    • One behaviour change beyond the card's literal pins, stated in the changeset. Under a locale, an order on an inline-options dimension now follows the rendered label, not the authored one. That disagreement pre-existed for inline dimensions. Triage's control ("inline options behave as today") pins the display labels, and those are unchanged: zh-CN 正式客户 / 合作伙伴, ja-JP 顧客 / パートナー, before and after.

    • Changeset, checked sentence by sentence: the title, the picklist mechanism paragraph, the field-level-entry-wins sentence, the order / limit paragraph and "no key, export or parameter is added or removed". Each matches the diff. It is one @objectstack/service-analytics patch.

    • Evidence:

      • 26 new pins, run at the service call the door makes, with real ObjectQL and an i18n service, on both strategies.
      • Ablations A1 (12 red) and A2 (exactly the 8 sort pins red), each restored to the HEAD blob.
      • The package suite: 179 files, 4436 passed. Typecheck passes.
      • 64/64 derived gates, plus the four check:i18n* families, at 59ccbaf0.
    • Carried, not filed: the executor collates sort labels with localeCompare() and no locale, so the order is the root collation, not the request locale's. No contract names locale-aware collation; carrier: none. It is in the PR's Acceptance notes.

    • Landing to-do:

    PR #22213 merged through the merge queue as 0e9371f0. On origin/main:

    • translateSelectOptions in service-analytics's plugin.ts carries the served field's picklist;
    • the sort-key pass in dimension-labels.ts reads the same translated options as the display.
