The relation behaviour resolved every posted record id (`manage_id`, `record_id`, `foreign_id`, `checked[]`) against the bare related model, so a manage handler could act on a record the widget's own query never offered. Handlers that operate on an existing related record now resolve it through the relation itself, including the active deferred-binding session, and the add/link/pivot-create handlers — whose whole purpose is to reach outside the relation — resolve theirs through the manage list widget's own query, which is the selection list those buttons display and the thing `manage.conditions`, `manage.scope` and `relationExtendManageWidget()` narrow. That makes the set the relation manager accepts the same as the set it offers, the way `ListController::index_onDelete()` and `Backend\Widgets\Lists::onReorder()` already validate their checked ids. A mode a handler forces now also takes precedence over the posted `_relation_mode`, since a handler forces a mode because it can only work in that one. A relation configured `readOnly` was only consulted while rendering, so its write handlers still acted. They now refuse with a 403, matching `Backend\Widgets\MediaManager::abortIfReadOnly()`; drag-and-drop reordering is refused on the write it performs, leaving the list's `sortable` flag - which is also what presents the relation in its stored order - alone; and the manage and pivot forms are built in preview mode so the field widgets inside them inherit it. `FormWidgetBase` gains `abortIfPreviewMode()` and FileUpload's and Repeater's write handlers call it, which covers a form rendered in a preview context and a read-only relation's forms. It deliberately does not cover a field-level `disabled`: several widgets set preview mode from it so they render as not editable, but the client decides whether `disabled` comes back, so it has never been a server side control and is not made into one here. Because the relation's extra configuration round trips through the browser, it carries no `readOnly` in either direction - the relation's own configuration decides. Behaviour changes: - Relation write handlers refuse to act when the relation configuration says the relation is read only. Rendering, searching, filtering, sorting and paging still work, and so do the widgets' read handlers. - Posted record ids the relation manager does not offer are ignored; the manage form raises the usual "record not found" error for one it cannot resolve. - Drag-and-drop reordering of a read-only relation is refused with a 403. Records still display in their stored order, and the reorder handles are still drawn. - `readOnly` in the relation configuration, or set from `relationExtendConfig()`, is the only form of it that decides whether the handlers act. `readOnly` passed to `relationRender()`, or to a `relationmanager` form field, styles that one render: it reaches the server only because the browser returns it with the relation's extra configuration, and it is no longer read from there at all. So it neither locks a writable relation nor unlocks a read-only one, and a relation the configuration declares read only cannot be reopened for writing by rendering it with `readOnly: false`. - The behaviour's public `$readOnly` property is now always a boolean, so a relation that does not mention `readOnly` reports `false` where it used to report `null`. This matches the type the property has always documented. - FileUpload's upload, remove, re-sort and rename handlers and Repeater's add and remove handlers refuse to act when the form or relation that built them is not editable. A `disabled` field is unchanged: those handlers behave exactly as they did before. - A relation that has no `manage.list` and no `view.list` configuration at all now raises the same "missing configuration" error from `onRelationManageAdd` that its Link button already raised. - A record that only the `backend.list.extendRecords` event injects into the manage list is displayed but not accepted for adding, since that event does not run for the query. - The pivot form reports a `foreign_id` it cannot resolve through the manage list with the same "record not found" error the manage branch already raises for `manage_id`, rather than quietly falling back to an empty related model. Tests: `Backend\Tests\Behaviors\RelationControllerScopingTest` (41), `Backend\Tests\Behaviors\RelationControllerReadOnlyTest` (46) and `Backend\Tests\FormWidgets\FormWidgetPreviewModeTest` (9, including `testDisabledFieldIsNotAServerSideControl`), with a new `Backend\Tests\Fixtures\Models\RelationBehaviorFixture` and an `assignableTo` scope on the `Database\Tester\Models\Role` fixture.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. WalkthroughThe changes add server-side write guards for preview-mode form widgets and read-only relations. Relation record lookups now use the active relation or manage-list query, including pivot operations and deferred bindings. Added tests cover write rejection, writable behavior, relation scoping, selection constraints, sortable relations, and nested widgets. Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change adds server-side protections for read-only relations and preview-mode widgets, and limits relation operations to records the user is offered. The remaining feedback concerns outdated test comments only, so there is no identified merge-blocking risk. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The changed handlers generally narrow which records can be written and reject writes to configured read-only relations. No new security issue was established, but a pivot-save path and behavior under repeated or interrupted requests are not fully resolved. Retained concerns Security review detailsSecurity Blast Radius
