Fourth and final WS-5 sibling. Polymorphic morph-owned table for the
RADIO / SELECT / MULTISELECT / CHECKBOX_LIST option rows, shared
between form_fields and form_field_library via the owner_type
discriminator. Matches the WS-5a (bindings) / WS-5b (validation_rules
+ configs) pattern one-for-one: dedicated service as single writer,
UNION-over-two-owner-chains scope, shared cascade observer.
Row shape:
- value canonical storage value (string ≤255, UNIQUE per owner)
- label default-locale display label (string ≤255)
- sort_order int unsigned
- translations JSON { "<locale>": "<translated label>" }
The UNIQUE(owner_type, owner_id, value) index ffo_owner_value_unique
is the seed-bug guard — duplicate values per field have no semantic
meaning and must fail at both the service layer (assertSpecsValid)
and the DB level.
Activity log: field.options_replaced emits on FormField subject only,
per the §6.7 WS-5a / §17.4.2 WS-5b convention that library-level
changes are silent in activity log.
No production reads yet. The form_fields.options and
form_field_library.options JSON columns remain the active source of
truth until the commit-3 reader switch — accessing $field->options
still resolves through the JSON cast in commit 1, so model tests
exercise the new morphMany via $field->options() (explicit relation
call). Both FormField and FormFieldLibrary now carry an `options`
morphMany alongside `bindings`, `validation_rules`, and `configs`.
Cascade: FormFieldChildTablesCascadeObserver gains form_field_options
as the fourth child cleaned on owner delete (both FormField soft/
force-delete and FormFieldLibrary delete).
Migration step-count tests in WS-5a/b/c bumped by 1 to account for
the new create_form_field_options_table on the migration stack.
Base scope-class extraction across the four siblings — deliberately
deferred to a follow-up work package per addendum §17.4.3 / §17.5.3.
Now that all four concrete implementations exist, the "what actually
varies" question can be answered empirically.
Tests: 1158 → 1182 green (+24 tests / +42 assertions).

About Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
- Simple, fast routing engine.
- Powerful dependency injection container.
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
- Database agnostic schema migrations.
- Robust background job processing.
- Real-time event broadcasting.
Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
