fix(ui): presentational fields skipped in form state when admin.condition is false by JessRynkar · Pull Request #17224 · payloadcms/payload

JessRynkar · 2026-07-07T11:15:52Z

V3 equivalent of this PR.

…tion is false (#17222) ### What Presentational fields (`row`,`collapsible`, or unnamed `group`) with `admin.condition` set to `false` were dropped entirely from form state. ### Why Regression introduced in #16819 (backport of #16780). It added a short circuit in `addFieldStatePromise` to skip rendering hidden fields. For a presentational field (which holds no value of its own), the early return fired **before** recursing into `field.fields`, so nested field state was never built. ### Fix Excludes presentational fields from the early return, letting them fall through to the `fieldHasSubFields` logic. This allows nested fields to preserve to their values and still skip rendering (they short circuit themselves). ### Tests Added to `test/form-state` NOTE: 3.x equivalent of this change [here](#17224).
