April 2026: Delivered a critical query sanitization improvement for payload CMS that enables array handling in relationship field queries, preventing SQL adapter errors and strengthening data filtering reliability. Implemented a targeted operator swap (equals to in, not_equals to not_in) for array values, added integration tests for hasMany and non-hasMany relationships, and aligned the change with existing sanitizeQueryValue patterns. This work reduces runtime query failures, improves developer experience, and enhances business value by ensuring accurate, scalable query behavior across Postgres and SQLite.

March 2026 monthly summary for payloadcms/payload: Focused on stabilizing locale-based publishing UX by fixing a document status display bug and aligning locale publish behavior with the all-locales path.

Expanded test coverage with an end-to-end test to guard against regressions in locale publish flow. All changes consolidated in the payload repository, delivering a more reliable, editor-friendly multi-locale publishing experience.
