Atomic reader switch. All call paths that previously read
form_fields.options / form_field_library.options from the JSON column
now read through FormFieldOptionService::toJsonShape() via the
morphMany relation:
- FormFieldResource + FormFieldLibraryResource +
PublicFormSchemaResource emit the rich-shape array
- FilterRegistryController emits rich shape uniformly (no flat-array
carve-out for filter-UI compatibility — preflight scan confirmed
zero portal/app consumers, S5 territory)
- FormFieldRuleBuilder plucks values from the relation for in:options
rule construction
- FormSubmissionService::buildSnapshot writes rich-shape options into
snapshots and strips translations.{locale}.options from each field's
translations bag (defensive — commit 2 backfill already did the
bulk strip)
- Four FormFieldRequest variants accept array-of-spec-objects,
validate shape in after() via FormFieldOptionService::assertSpecsValid,
and hand off to FormFieldOptionService::replaceOptions for writes
- FormFieldService::create + update extract option specs from the
request data and route through the service after the FormField row
is persisted
FormField and FormFieldLibrary $casts no longer include 'options'; the
JSON column is no longer cast. Options removed from $fillable on both
models so ::create() / ::fill() / mass assignment can no longer touch
the legacy column. Both models gain a getOptionsAttribute() accessor
that resolves $model->options to the eager-loaded morphMany collection
— required because Eloquent's getAttribute() prefers a real DB column
over a relation method, and the JSON column lives on the table until
WS-5d commit 5 drops it.
Activity log — dual emit per §6.7 / §17.4.2 / §17.6.3:
- field.updated carries old.options / new.options diff via
toJsonShape() reconstruction, byte-equal JSON compare to avoid
cosmetic false positives. Field updates that don't touch options
omit the key entirely
- field.options_replaced emits inside replaceOptions() on FormField
subject only; library subject writes silent (mirrors the WS-5b /
WS-5c convention)
JSON columns (form_fields.options, form_field_library.options) remain
present but unread — column drops land atomically in commit 5.
Two pre-existing test fixtures that seeded options via the JSON column
(FormFieldApiTest + PublicFormValidationTest) migrated to the
spec-array path: FormField::factory()->withOptions([...]) where the
options live on the field, or explicit spec-array request bodies for
HTTP tests.
Tests: 1193 → 1206 green (+13 tests / +28 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.
