Large CP entry edit payload with nested Replicator + Link fields #14664

Description

@davidwittenbrink

Bug description

After upgrading a project from Statamic 5 to 6, some entry edit pages containing a specific fieldset in the CP became very slow and often end in a blank page/timeout.

The affected entries use a nested Replicator structure (page builder -> table block -> rows -> cells). Each cell has two link field instances (link and documents_link) behind conditionals.

For one failing entry, I analyzed the CP page source and measured the payload:

  • Reconstructed CP source length: ~19mb
  • data-page attribute length: ~19mb (99% of CP source)
  • Decoded data-page JSON length: ~11mb
  • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks size: 11mb (97% of decoded data-page JSON)
  • page.props.values.replicator_blocks size: 121kb

So the payload is dominated by field metadata, not the entry values.

The largest concrete duplication I could verify is repeated nested entry.meta under these paths:

  • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks.existing.<table_block_id>.table.existing.<row_id>.table_cells.existing.<cell_id>.link.entry.meta
  • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks.existing.<table_block_id>.table.existing.<row_id>.table_cells.existing.<cell_id>.documents_link.entry.meta

Counts in this entry:

  • Table blocks: 20
  • Table rows: 126
  • Table cells: 504
  • link.entry.meta occurrences: 504
  • documents_link.entry.meta occurrences: 504
  • Total nested copies: 1,008

All 1,008entry.meta payloads are identical in this case.

I know there was recent Replicator work in #13427 (improving page-load performance), but this case still reproduces on my setup.
I've also brought this up on Discord here.

Here is a meta.json field showing the duplicated metadata object inside page-json
meta.json

How to reproduce

  1. Use Statamic 6.18.1 (or current 6.x).
  2. Create a blueprint with nested Replicators or add the ones I attached:
    • top-level block Replicator
    • table block containing row Replicator
  3. In each cell, define two type: link fields (link, documents_link) with conditional visibility.
  4. Create an entry with many table cells (example failing entry: 20 table blocks, 126 rows, 504 cells, many links populated).
  5. Open the entry edit page in the CP.
  6. Inspect page source: data-page payload is very large and mostly props.meta.replicator_blocks.

                  • Reconstructed CP source length: ~19mb
                  • data-page attribute length: ~19mb (99% of CP source)
                  • Decoded data-page JSON length: ~11mb
                  • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks size: 11mb (97% of decoded data-page JSON)
                  • page.props.values.replicator_blocks size: 121kb

                  So the payload is dominated by field metadata, not the entry values.

                  The largest concrete duplication I could verify is repeated nested entry.meta under these paths:

                  • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks.existing.<table_block_id>.table.existing.<row_id>.table_cells.existing.<cell_id>.link.entry.meta
                  • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks.existing.<table_block_id>.table.existing.<row_id>.table_cells.existing.<cell_id>.documents_link.entry.meta

                  Counts in this entry:

                  • Table blocks: 20
                  • Table rows: 126
                  • Table cells: 504
                  • link.entry.meta occurrences: 504
                  • documents_link.entry.meta occurrences: 504
                  • Total nested copies: 1,008

                  All 1,008entry.meta payloads are identical in this case.

                  I know there was recent Replicator work in #13427 (improving page-load performance), but this case still reproduces on my setup.
                  I've also brought this up on Discord here.

                  Here is a meta.json field showing the duplicated metadata object inside page-json
                  meta.json

                  How to reproduce

                  1. Use Statamic 6.18.1 (or current 6.x).
                  2. Create a blueprint with nested Replicators or add the ones I attached:
                    • top-level block Replicator
                    • table block containing row Replicator
                  3. In each cell, define two type: link fields (link, documents_link) with conditional visibility.
                  4. Create an entry with many table cells (example failing entry: 20 table blocks, 126 rows, 504 cells, many links populated).
                  5. Open the entry edit page in the CP.
                  6. Inspect page source: data-page payload is very large and mostly props.meta.replicator_blocks.

                      Bug description

                      After upgrading a project from Statamic 5 to 6, some entry edit pages containing a specific fieldset in the CP became very slow and often end in a blank page/timeout.

                      The affected entries use a nested Replicator structure (page builder -> table block -> rows -> cells). Each cell has two link field instances (link and documents_link) behind conditionals.

                      For one failing entry, I analyzed the CP page source and measured the payload:

                      • data-page attribute length: ~19mb (99% of CP source)
                      • Decoded data-page JSON length: ~11mb
                      • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks size: 11mb (97% of decoded data-page JSON)

                      So the payload is dominated by field metadata, not the entry values.

                      The largest concrete duplication I could verify is repeated nested entry.meta under these paths:

                              Large CP entry edit payload with nested Replicator + Link fields #14664

                              Description

                              Bug description

                              After upgrading a project from Statamic 5 to 6, some entry edit pages containing a specific fieldset in the CP became very slow and often end in a blank page/timeout.

                              The affected entries use a nested Replicator structure (page builder -> table block -> rows -> cells). Each cell has two link field instances (link and documents_link) behind conditionals.

                              For one failing entry, I analyzed the CP page source and measured the payload:

                              • Reconstructed CP source length: ~19mb
                              • data-page attribute length: ~19mb (99% of CP source)
                              • Decoded data-page JSON length: ~11mb
                              • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks size: 11mb (97% of decoded data-page JSON)
                              • page.props.values.replicator_blocks size: 121kb

                              So the payload is dominated by field metadata, not the entry values.

                              The largest concrete duplication I could verify is repeated nested entry.meta under these paths:

                              • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks.existing.<table_block_id>.table.existing.<row_id>.table_cells.existing.<cell_id>.link.entry.meta
                              • page.props.meta.replicator_blocks.existing.<table_block_id>.table.existing.<row_id>.table_cells.existing.<cell_id>.documents_link.entry.meta

                              Counts in this entry:

                              • Table blocks: 20
                              • Table rows: 126
                              • Table cells: 504
                              • link.entry.meta occurrences: 504
                              • documents_link.entry.meta occurrences: 504
                              • Total nested copies: 1,008

                              All 1,008entry.meta payloads are identical in this case.

                              I know there was recent Replicator work in #13427 (improving page-load performance), but this case still reproduces on my setup.
                              I've also brought this up on Discord here.

                              Here is a meta.json field showing the duplicated metadata object inside page-json
                              meta.json

                              How to reproduce

                              1. Use Statamic 6.18.1 (or current 6.x).
                              2. Create a blueprint with nested Replicators or add the ones I attached:
                                • top-level block Replicator
                                • table block containing row Replicator
                              3. In each cell, define two type: link fields (link, documents_link) with conditional visibility.
                              4. Create an entry with many table cells (example failing entry: 20 table blocks, 126 rows, 504 cells, many links populated).
                              5. Open the entry edit page in the CP.
                              6. Inspect page source: data-page payload is very large and mostly props.meta.replicator_blocks.
