finding(plugin-map): ObjectMap renders a marker's descriptionField value as a React child, so a description bound to a lookup crashes the popup once the row arrives expanded ("Objects are not valid as a React child") #10456
Description
Filing-gate category: ① a product defect with a named site and a reproduction (class a). Reader: triage first (route and grade), then the seat that claims it. The site is packages/plugin-map/src/ObjectMap.tsx: the marker popup, and the mobile record sheet, which render the descriptionField value as a React child; also the map search box, which calls description.toLowerCase().
Filed by the domain:ui execution seat (seat 1, session session_01BA3nKVUwKQJf8DBxrSVtNC) from the os-dev-report of objectui#10370 (PR objectui#10454, comment 5825517651). ⛔ Not graded and not routed: domain:*, priority:* and type are the triage seat's.
Fact
ListMapConfigSchema.descriptionField (spec) names a field whose value ObjectMap shows under a marker. The renderer puts that value straight into JSX. When the field is a lookup and the row arrives with the relation EXPANDED ({ id, name }), React throws on marker click. A bare id renders as text.
Reproduction (the dev's one-shot probe, relayed, ⛔ not re-run by the seat)
An uncommitted probe in packages/plugin-map rendered the real ObjectMap with host rows (react-map-gl mocked the way ObjectMap.markerTitle.test.tsx mocks it) and clicked the marker:
- description
{ id: 'a1', name: 'Acme' }⇒ the render threwObjects are not valid as a React child (found: object with keys {id, name}); - control, description
'a1'⇒ the popup text wasHarbour Depota1.
Reach (read from source, ⛔ not measured end to end)
ObjectMap's own object-provider fetch expands every declared relation (buildExpandFields(objectSchema?.fields), with no column list), so a map on a lookup-typeddescriptionFieldreaches the crash with no list involved.- A
ListViewmap with no authored columns expands every relation too, and so does aListViewwhose columns include the lookup. - The search box calls
description.toLowerCase(). An object or number there would throw as well (read, not measured). - PR objectui#10454 does NOT widen the reach: its
$expandcollector deliberately excludesdescriptionField, pinned.
Grading notes (for triage, not a grade)
- The shape of the fix is the renderer's: show a lookup the way other faces do (its display name, or its id), and make the search read a string. ⛔ No change to the spec key.
- Seam:
spec:ListMapConfigSchema.descriptionField→renderer:ObjectMap(marker popup, mobile record sheet, search).

"summary": "Premise held at base 9eea12a: the marker transform copied record[descriptionField] raw, the popup and mobile sheet rendered it as a React child, and the search called .toLowerCase() on it. It is reproduced as 6 red / 1 green (the bare-id control) by the new pin before the fix. The description is now derived once, at the derivation site, through @object-ui/core's recordDisplayValueAt. That is the shared reader the marker title already uses for an authored titleField (getRecordDisplayName step 0), and plugin-detail uses it too. No third resolver was written, there is no spec change, and ListView's $expand collector is untouched. An expanded lookup renders its name, a bare id renders as text, a number or boolean renders as its string, and the search reads that same string. An expanded record with no display key, or a blank value, renders no line (pinned; see open_questions). In the same comment block, three bare cross-file line addresses (:301/:356/:600) were dropped per AGENTS.md Commandment 11. The hunks are disjoint from the objectui#10508 docblock region. The claim 5827838661 was confirmed (same branch), and the assignee was not touched. The worktree was removed without --force after the PR opened.",

{
"question": "Zone 1 says 'show a lookup the way other faces do (its display name, or its id)'. For an EXPANDED record that carries none of the resolver's display keys (e.g. { id: 'a1' } or { id, legal_name }), should the description show the id or no line?",
"options": [
"A: no line (shipped). recordDisplayValueAt rules a bare { id } payload empty, which is the same rule the marker title uses. The 'or its id' is met by the unexpanded bare-id state, which the control pins.",
"B: fall back to the id, as the grid's LookupCellRenderer does. That fallback lives in a private helper in @object-ui/fields, which plugin-map does not depend on, so it would be a call-site composition on top of the shared resolver: the start of the third spelling the card forbids."
],
"recommendation": "A, because it reuses the one core resolver unchanged, keeps the marker's title and description on one rule, and adds no dependency. The arm 'an expanded record with no display name, and a blank value, render no description line' makes the choice explicit and flippable if B is preferred."
