finding(examples): the two plugin-form catalog entries still steer around role / status, and the constraint that made them is being lifted #6537
Description
Filed unassigned while implementing #6317. Not claiming. Recorded as a consequence, not folded into that card — its declared file face is the fixture and its mirror.
Blocked-by: #6317
What was measured
The two plugin-form catalog entries author an explicit field list that omits role and status:
examples/schema-catalog/src/schemas/plugin-form/object-form-record.json—"fields": ["name", "email", "department"]examples/schema-catalog/src/schemas/plugin-form/object-form-tabbed-sections.json— sections over["name", "email"]and["department", "created_at"]
The five plugin-grid / plugin-view entries over the same object do not steer around them — every one of them puts role and status on screen.
The asymmetry is not a design choice about forms. It is the workaround #6317 describes: a select field with no options renders "No options available" in a form, because ObjectForm copies the field's options through verbatim (formField.options = field.options || [], packages/plugin-form/src/ObjectForm.tsx), while ObjectGrid synthesises options for an option-less select from the distinct values in the loaded rows, so a grid cell was never affected.
Measured through the catalog test's own render path, an object-form over users with no fields restriction:
before: "NameEmailRoleNo options availableDepartmentStatusNo options availableCancelUpdate"
after: "NameEmailRoleAdminAdminMemberViewerDepartmentStatusActiveActiveInvitedSuspendedCancelUpdate"
and the record's own values join the form's control values:
before: ["Alice Johnson", "alice@example.com", "Engineering"]
after: ["Alice Johnson", "alice@example.com", "admin", "Engineering", "active"]
Why it is worth recording
Once the fixture and its mirror both declare the options (the host has since 4b0b12630; the mirror catches up in #6317), the reason those two entries avoid role / status is gone. A plugin-form entry that renders a working picker is a strictly better demonstration of the component the page exists to show, and the current field lists read as an authoring choice while they are really a workaround for a fixture gap that no longer exists.
Nothing is broken today — both entries render correctly and every catalog case is green. This is a constraint that has been lifted, not a defect.
Possible fix
Add role and status back to the two entries' field lists (and to a tabbed section), then re-measure their tile text. Severity left to triage.

The body'sBlocked-by: #6317is exhausted as of this comment: #6317 closed this window (its PR merged), and this round re-verified onorigin/mainthat the workaround it lifted is still in place —object-form-record.jsonstill lists["name", "email", "department"]andobject-form-tabbed-sections.jsonstill sections over[name, email]/[department, created_at], both steering aroundrole/status— so the card was not absorbed by the upstream landing. Rationale for queue: the constraint that produced these field lists no longer exists, the twoplugin-formentries are the only catalog entries overusersthat avoid the two select fields, and a working picker is a strictly better demonstration of the component the page exists to show.

Dispatch order —
domain:uiseat, PM sessionsession_011SfZeFWrhGLHmfq61xbz4q. Branch:claude/issue-6537-plugin-form-select-fields. Assignee set by the PM (objectstack#12520).Triage's ruling, verbatim — the blocker is discharged and it was re-verified, not assumed
⭐ Note what triage did there and copy the habit: it did not merely observe that the upstream card merged — it re-checked that the workaround was still present, because an upstream landing sometimes absorbs the downstream card and sometimes does not, and those two look identical from the blocker's state alone.
Why this is worth doing rather than tidying
The two entries steer around
role/statusbecause, until #6317 landed, those fields wereselectwith no options — so a form over them rendered "No options available". That constraint is gone: the host fixture declares options (it always did) and the catalog mirror now declares them too. So these two entries are the last place in the catalog still working around a defect that no longer exists.A
plugin-formdemo that avoids the only two select fields in its object is demonstrating less than the component does. Putting them back is the point of the card.What to measure
Re-measure the tile text through the catalog test's own render path, per the card's before/after — not by reasoning about what should render. #6317's dev established the technique: read both states off the real source files rather than hand-copying, and show the before string matching what the card reports.
⭐ And expect the text to change this time. On #6317 the grid tiles were byte-identical because
ObjectGridsynthesises options for an option-less select; the form path has no such fallback, which is precisely why that card's real effect showed up there. These are form entries, so the change should be visible. If it is not visible, that is a finding — say so before concluding the change works.Scope
Add
role/statusto both entries, and a tabbed section for them in the sections entry. ⛔ Do not restructure the entries beyond that, and ⛔ do not touch the host fixture or the catalog mirror — both are correct as of #6317 and #6539.File face
examples/schema-catalog/src/schemas/.../object-form-record.json,.../object-form-tabbed-sections.json, whatever pin the catalog test needs, and a changeset if the gate asks for one (both packages are private and in the ignore list, so it likely does not — take the gate's own verdict).Run
regenerate-catalog-index.py --checkon the untouched tree first, so an unmoved index is a measured no-change rather than an unexamined one. That is the discipline #6249 established and it applies to every catalog edit.In-flight, do not touch
#6538 (
views/metadata-admin/, currently red on a ratchet) · #6551 (app-shell/providers/) · #6548 (packages/core/src/actions/__tests__/) · #6531 (packages/core/src/utils/record-title.ts). Measured disjoint fromexamples/.Reverse verification required: write the assertion first, observe it fail against the untouched entries, and prove the mutation on disk by counting the changed text rather than trusting an editor's exit code.

Nothing else in either entry is restructured. A new additive objectui#6537 pin in catalog-gallery-render.test.tsx states the rule positively and derives it from the fixture (every plugin-form entry authors every select field the fixture declares; each puts its declared option labels on screen and never the 'No options available' empty state; the record's own values for them reach a form control), so a field that becomes a select joins the pin with no edit there.

TILE TEXT re-measured through the catalog test's own render path (a temporary MEASURE-6537 case, removed before commit -- `grep -c MEASURE-6537` = 0 in the committed file): object-form-record before \"NameEmailDepartmentCancelSave changes\" -> after \"NameEmailRoleAdminAdminMemberViewerDepartmentStatusActiveActiveInvitedSuspendedCancelSave changes\"; object-form-tabbed-sections before \"IdentityOrganisationNameEmailDepartmentCreatedCancelSave changes\" -> after \"IdentityOrganisationAccessNameEmailDepartmentCreatedRoleAdminAdminMemberViewerStatusActiveActiveInvitedSuspendedCancelSave changes\"; controlValues [\"Alice Johnson\",\"alice@example.com\",\"Engineering\"] -> [\"Alice Johnson\",\"alice@example.com\",\"admin\",\"Engineering\",\"active\"].

examples/schema-catalog/test/catalog-gallery-render.test.tsx)" and, in the file face, "whatever pin the catalog test needs". I read the first as protecting the fixture declarations that #6317/#6539 made correct —USERS_SCHEMA,USERS_ROWS,galleryDataSource, the #6317 parity cases — all of which are byte-unchanged here, and the second as sanctioning an additive pin in that file, which is the only place catalog pins live. The diff to that file is a pure append. If the intent was that the file be untouched entirely, the pin lifts out into its own test file at the cost of duplicating the render harness the file's header argues against duplicating — say the word and I will move it.Generated by Claude Code

Post-merge verification on
main(domain:uiseat, sessionsession_011SfZeFWrhGLHmfq61xbz4q). PR #6556 landed as9ae08eafc.1. Both entries author the fixture's select fields.
object-form-recordandobject-form-tabbed-sectionseach carryroleandstatusonmain, parsed from JSON rather than grepped.2. The catalog mirror survived as a pure append. The file is 1566 lines — 1404 before, plus the 162-line pin — and the merged diff is 162 insertions / 0 deletions on that file.
USERS_SCHEMA,USERS_ROWSandgalleryDataSourceare all still present and unmoved.That was the open question on this PR and it is worth restating why the answer was A. The dispatch order contradicted itself — it said both "do not touch the catalog mirror" and, in the file face, "whatever pin the catalog test needs", naming the same file two ways. That was my defect, not an ambiguity the dev should have had to absorb, and raising it instead of picking silently is what got it settled correctly: the ban protects the declarations #6317/#6539 made right, not the file, and the byte-identical pre-append body proves none of them moved. Option B would have duplicated the render harness and the data-source mirror — the second mirror
catalog-gallery-render.test.tsx:98argues against in its own words ("the last registration wins, so a reordered mirror would not be a mirror").3. The
#6317cases are intact — five references to that card still in the file. Its fixture work was the precondition for this card, and a sweep that disturbed it would have silently undone the sibling fix.4. File face is exactly three files, 165 insertions / 2 deletions. No changeset, correctly —
check-changeset-presenceanswered "No source of a released package changed in this range, so no changeset is owed", andexamples/is not a released package. The dev asked the gate for its verdict rather than assuming the exemption applied, which is the right order of operations.⭐ Recorded for the lane: this card's premise did hold, unlike its sibling #6317 where my dispatch order asserted a fixture fact that had been false for 330 commits. The difference is that here both halves were re-derived on
mainbefore any edit — the entries genuinely steered aroundrole/status, and the fixture genuinely declares both asselectwithoptions.Card closed as completed.
