Studio: the object designer's field panel offers no Delete Behavior row on a lookup or user field, so deleteBehavior cannot be set or cleared from Studio

domain:ui#2 · zhuangjianguo · session_01QsR2jRFuJz9QBZqPVHYVhJ

Filing gate: ② out-of-scope finding, class a (measured), from #29733 (PR #29805, report 6596366307). Filed by domain:ui#2. ⛔ Not a claim. No grade: triage sets it.

Business reason. deleteBehavior decides what deleting a referenced record does (set null, cascade, restrict), and on a user field "declares nothing" is its own enforced outcome (#29253, PR #29368). A metadata author working in Studio cannot see, set or clear it on a field, so the choice can only be made in raw metadata.

Observed (measured). main 6f094645, examples/app-crm with objectstack dev --fresh, source Console, admin. A scratch object udb_ticket with a user field assignee and a lookup field parent_ticket. The Studio object designer's field panel (ObjectFieldInspector) shows Basic, the type's own options (for user: Show Name When Unreadable) and Advanced, and no Delete Behavior row on either field. On origin/main no app-shell source outside predicate.ts (a doc comment) names deleteBehavior. The deleteBehavior rows that PR #29712 added live in the object / field forms that SchemaForm renders, and for object the Studio editor draws the designer and its inspectors, not that form. Screenshots: /mnt/project-files/issue-29733/before-user-field-panel-no-deleteBehavior.png, /mnt/project-files/issue-29733/lookup-field-panel-no-deleteBehavior.png.

Wanted. The designer's field panel shows a Delete Behavior row on lookup and user fields (and master_detail if the spec allows it there; check field.zod.ts), with the spec's values and an unset choice that writes the key as absent (the shape PR #29805 lands for SchemaForm). Its visibility follows the same predicate the form rows use.

Tests. Over the real designer: the row is drawn on lookup and user, not on a text field (CONTROL); setting and clearing it reach the draft (cleared = key absent); ablation goes red. Live before/after in Studio.

Landing site: the Studio object designer's field inspector (ObjectFieldInspector, app-shell metadata-admin). Serialize after PR #29805.

Dedupe: is:issue deleteBehavior Studio field inspector (7 hits, QA runs and #23100, none about this), is:issue ObjectFieldInspector deleteBehavior (4 hits, none). New.

⛔ Not a claim.

Read fresh. Measured: Studio's object designer field panel (ObjectFieldInspector) shows no Delete Behavior row on a lookup or user field. PR docs(spec): register the user-field deleteBehavior enforcement as an ADR-0087 semantic entry and correct the delete-walk prose, protocol describe included (#29415) #29712's rows live only in the SchemaForm forms, which the object editor does not draw. So deleteBehavior can be set or cleared only in raw metadata. p2, the sibling of Studio metadata forms: an optional enum select has no empty item, so a chosen deleteBehavior on a user field cannot be cleared #29733.
Serial: after PR fix(app-shell): optional choice rows in Studio metadata forms can be cleared again #29805 (Studio metadata forms: an optional enum select has no empty item, so a chosen deleteBehavior on a user field cannot be cleared #29733), on the same option list.

File surface:

ui/packages/app-shell/src/views/metadata-admin/inspectors/ObjectFieldInspector.tsx (a Delete Behavior row on lookup / user / master_detail, and the type-change cleanup), following the referenceNameVisible row's precedent.
Its tests (into the existing inspector harness file as a new top-level describe), the Studio namespace i18n keys for the row (ui/packages/i18n/src/namespaces/studio/*), and one changeset.

Clause-②: no
Metadata-protocol: none
Responsibility: n/a — not a defect card
Thread-read: 6596577001
Premise: holds per filing 6596366307's measurement and triage 6596577001: on origin/main, no app-shell source names deleteBehavior outside a doc comment. The spec is field.zod.ts L1868: z.enum(['set_null','cascade','restrict']).optional(), and an authored set_null on a master_detail is refused at parse. The form rows are field.form.ts L243–244 and object.form.ts L361/369.
Serial constraints cleared: PR #29805 (#29733) is open and edits ObjectFieldInspector.tsx plus the optional-enum unset shape. This card builds on its landed shape: the dev merges origin/main after #29805 lands, and the PR stays draft until then. No other open PR touches ObjectFieldInspector.tsx.

Claim amendment 1 to 6596731216 · 2026-11-03T06:08Z

Correction, measured by the dev: PR #29805 (#29733) does not edit ObjectFieldInspector.tsx. Its ten files are SchemaForm.tsx, five *DefaultInspector.tsx, fallbackFormPatch.ts, tests and a changeset. Its unset item is module-private to SchemaForm. The seat read the PR's file list wrong in the claim.

The field panel already has an absent-key unset shape: InspectorSelectField with a '' leading option mapped to unsetDefKey (the valueDomain row, objectui#7597). This card reuses it.
Serial constraints cleared: none in flight. No open PR touches ObjectFieldInspector.tsx. The serial on fix(app-shell): optional choice rows in Studio metadata forms can be cleared again #29805 is lifted, and this PR does not wait for it.
File surface, exact: inspectors/ObjectFieldInspector.tsx, inspectors/ObjectFieldInspector.test.tsx, ui/packages/i18n/src/namespaces/studio/{en,zh}.ts, and one changeset.

#29807	closed `completed` by `Fixes`. Labels read back: enhancement, priority:p2, domain:ui

State: pm:dispatched removed, and the card is closed. Delivered: the Studio object designer's field panel now has a Delete Behavior row. On lookup and user fields it offers Set Null, Cascade and Restrict. On master_detail it offers Cascade and Restrict. "None" removes the key, and a retype drops a value the new type does not take. Nothing is left on this card.
