Demo

Accordion items titled by their referenced location, with the class type label as the description

Full-resolution MP4

What was wrong

An object list rendered as an accordion can name each item after one of its fields (itemTitle, and likewise itemDescription). The title printed that field's raw value:

  • A text field with predefined values showed the stored value, e.g. personal-training, instead of the option label Personal Training.
  • A reference field holds { id, modelId }, so the title fell back to Facility Information #1 instead of the referenced entry's title, e.g. Baker.

The referenced entry was only resolved inside the reference input, which isn't mounted while the item is collapsed, so the title had nothing to read.

What changed

  • FieldValueFormatter (app-admin form model) is a new DI abstraction that turns a field's value into summary text, keyed by field type. resolveItemTitle uses it. Fields without a formatter get their option label when they have options, and lists of values are joined with commas. Object values now fall back to the default label instead of [object Object].
  • ReferenceTitles (app-headless-cms) is an observable title cache for references. Every reference asked for during a render pass is loaded with one getLatestContentEntries request. Each entry is requested at most once per session, keyed by entry ID so any revision hits the same title. A deleted entry settles as an empty title, and a failed request lets the next render ask again.
  • Decorators on GetContentEntriesUseCase and SearchContentEntriesUseCase write the titles of entries the reference inputs load into the same cache. Picking a reference from the dropdown updates the accordion title with no extra request.
  • CmsRefFieldValueFormatter connects the two for ref fields.
  • ObjectRenderer (single-object accordion) had its own copy of the title logic and now uses the shared resolver. Its hooks also ran after an early return; they now run before it.

Functions passed as itemTitle still receive raw values.

Testing

  • resolveItemTitle.test.ts covers option labels (single, list, numeric), formatter dispatch and the fallbacks.
  • ReferenceTitles.test.ts covers batching across models, one request per entry across revisions, deleted entries, retry after a failure, and reuse of titles from the use-case decorators.
  • I didn't check this in the admin UI because no local instance was running.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Object field titles and descriptions now display readable labels for predefined options and formatted values.
    • CMS reference fields now show referenced entry titles, with requests batched and titles reused when available.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Unreadable object values use a numbered fallback title; missing or unavailable reference titles are handled without disrupting display.

An accordion item title taken from a field (`itemTitle` / `itemDescription`)
printed the raw value. A dropdown with predefined values showed
"personal-training" instead of "Personal Training", and a reference field
showed nothing readable, so the item fell back to "Label #1".

Titles now go through FieldValueFormatter, a new form model extension point.
Without a formatter, a value is swapped for its option label. The CMS
registers one for `ref` fields, backed by ReferenceTitles: references asked
for in the same tick load in one request, each entry once, and entries the
reference inputs already loaded or searched are reused without a request.

The single-object accordion used its own copy of the title logic and now
shares the list renderer's.

✅ Nothing worth flagging. The diff looks consistent with the PR's stated intent and the code-style rules.

Automated, non-blocking heads-up from an LLM. It can be wrong — use your judgment. Regenerates on every push.

A reference to a deleted entry stayed unresolved, so a title built from
several references never showed. It now settles as an empty title. A failed
request frees its references so the next render asks again.

The single-object accordion called its hooks after an early return; they now
run before it.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds registered field-value formatters to object item title and description resolution. It adds a CMS reference-title cache that batches lookups, records titles from content-entry retrieval and search, and supplies titles to a CMS reference field formatter.

Changes: Reference field formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Field formatting and object item resolution
packages/app-admin/src/features/formModel/abstractions.ts, packages/app-admin/src/features/formModel/index.ts, packages/app-admin/src/base/Base/FieldRenderers/ObjectRenderer/*
The form model exports a field-value formatter abstraction. Shared title and description resolvers apply registered formatters and option labels. Object renderers pass fields and formatters to the resolvers, and tests cover formatted values, fallbacks, and callback settings.
Reference title cache and content-entry integration
packages/app-headless-cms/src/features/contentEntry/referenceTitles/*, packages/app-headless-cms/src/features/contentEntry/feature.ts
ReferenceTitles caches titles and batches queued lookups through the content-entry gateway. Decorators remember titles from successful content-entry retrieval and search results. Tests cover batching, revision deduplication, missing entries, retries, and remembered titles.
CMS reference field formatter
packages/app-headless-cms/src/features/formModel/CmsRefFieldValueFormatter.ts, packages/app-headless-cms/src/features/formModel/feature.ts
The CMS reference formatter handles scalar and array values through ReferenceTitles. The form model feature registers the formatter.

A temporary title lookup failure can leave an accordion showing its fallback label, but does not prevent using the item. This is a bounded issue to fix or accept before merging.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

A failed request never retries unless something else triggers a re-render.

After a gateway error, flush deletes the keys from requested. It does not change any observable state. titles is the only observable in this class. The observer that called getTitle did not get a title, so nothing makes it re-render. The comment on Line 62 says "until the next render asks again". That render happens only when an unrelated change occurs, such as typing in another field. The test passes because it calls getTitle by hand. In the UI, the accordion title can stay on the fallback label for the whole session.

Use an observable failure marker, or schedule a bounded retry. One option is to track requested with observable.set, so that deleting a key re-runs dependent observers. This needs a retry limit or backoff. Without one, a persistent failure starts a request loop on every reaction.
