- Simpler pattern
- - If you just need to wrap the value:
- mutationOptions
- =
- {
- {
- mutationFn
- :
- fieldData
- =>
- {
- return
- fetchMutation
- (
- {
- url
- :
- `
- /projects/
- ${
- org
- }
- /
- ${
- project
- }
- /
- `
- ,
- method
- :
- 'PUT'
- ,
- data
- :
- {
- options
- :
- fieldData
- }
- ,
- // getData equivalent
- }
- )
- ;
- }
- ,
- }
- }
- Important: Typing mutations correctly
- The
- mutationFn
- should be typed with the API's data type (e.g.,
- Partial
- ,
- Partial
- ),
- not
- the schema-inferred type. The schema is for client-side field validation only — the mutation receives whatever the API endpoint accepts. Tying the mutation to the schema couples two unrelated concerns and can cause type errors when the schema types don't exactly match the API types.
- // ❌ Don't use generic types - breaks field type narrowing
- mutationOptions
- =
- {
- {
- mutationFn
- :
- (
- data
- :
- Record
- <
- string
- ,
- unknown
- >
- )
- =>
- {
- return
- fetchMutation
- (
- {
- url
- :
- '/user/'
- ,
- method
- :
- 'PUT'
- ,
- data
- :
- {
- options
- :
- data
- }
- }
- )
- ;
- }
- ,
- }
- }
- // ❌ Don't tie mutation type to the zod schema
- mutationOptions
- =
- {
- {
- mutationFn
- :
- (
- data
- :
- Partial
- <
- z
- .
- infer
- <
- typeof
- preferencesSchema
- >>
- )
- =>
- {
- return
- fetchMutation
- (
- {
- url
- :
- '/user/'
- ,
- method
- :
- 'PUT'
- ,
- data
- :
- {
- options
- :
- data
- }
- }
- )
- ;
- }
- ,
- }
- }
- // ✅ Use the API's data type
- mutationOptions
- =
- {
- {
- mutationFn
- :
- (
- data
- :
- Partial
- <
- UserDetails
- >
- )
- =>
- {
- return
- fetchMutation
- (
- {
- url
- :
- '/user/'
- ,
- method
- :
- 'PUT'
- ,
- data
- :
- {
- options
- :
- data
- }
- }
- )
- ;
- }
- ,
- }
- }
- Make sure the zod schema's types are compatible with (i.e., assignable to) the API type. For example, if the API expects a string union like
- 'off' | 'low' | 'high'
- , use
- z.enum(['off', 'low', 'high'])
- instead of
- z.string()
- .
- mapFormErrors →
- setFieldErrors
- The
- mapFormErrors
- function transformed API error responses into field-specific errors. In the new system, handle this in the catch block using
- setFieldErrors
- .

- formatMessageValue →

- Note
- AutoSaveField with TanStack Query already handles error states gracefully - the mutation's
isError
state is reflected in the UI. Manual reset is typically only needed for specific UX requirements like password fields.
saveOnBlur: false →
useScrapsForm
Fields with
saveOnBlur: false
showed an inline alert with Save/Cancel buttons instead of auto-saving. This was used for dangerous operations (slug changes) or large text edits (fingerprint rules).
In the new system, use a regular form with
useScrapsForm
and an explicit Save button. This preserves the UX of showing warnings
before
committing.

) ; } When to use this pattern: Dangerous operations where users should see a warning before committing (slug changes, security tokens) Large multiline text fields where you want to finish editing before saving (fingerprint rules, filters) Any field where auto-save doesn't make sense Preserving Form Search Functionality Sentry's SettingsSearch allows users to search for individual settings fields. When migrating forms, you must preserve this searchability by wrapping migrated forms with FormSearch . The FormSearch Component FormSearch is a build-time marker component — it has zero runtime behavior and simply renders its children unchanged. Its route prop is read by a static extraction script to associate form fields with their navigation route, enabling them to appear in SettingsSearch results. import { FormSearch } from 'sentry/components/core/form' ; < FormSearch route = " /settings/account/details/ "
< FieldGroup title = { t ( 'Account Details' ) }
< AutoSaveField name = " name " schema = { schema } initialValue = { user . name } mutationOptions = { ... }
{ field => ( < field.Layout.Row label = { t ( 'Name' ) } hintText = { t ( 'Your full name' ) } required
< field.Input /> </ field.Layout.Row
) } </ AutoSaveField
</ FieldGroup
</ FormSearch
Props: Prop Type Description route string The settings route for this form (e.g., '/settings/account/details/' ). Used for search navigation. children ReactNode The form content — rendered unchanged at runtime. Rules: The route must match the settings page URL exactly (including trailing slash). Wrap the entire form section with a single FormSearch , not individual fields. Every
or inside a FormSearch will be indexed. Make sure label and hintText are plain string literals or t() calls — computed/dynamic strings will be skipped by the extractor. The Form Field Registry After adding or updating FormSearch wrappers, regenerate the field registry so that search results stay up to date: pnpm run extract-form-fields This script ( scripts/extractFormFields.ts ) scans all TSX files, finds components, extracts field metadata ( name , label , hintText , route ), and writes the generated registry to static/app/components/core/form/generatedFieldRegistry.ts . Commit this generated file alongside your migration PR — it is part of the source tree. Run the command after any change to forms inside a FormSearch wrapper (adds, removals, label changes). The generated file is checked in and should not be edited manually. Migration: Old Forms Already Searchable If the legacy JsonForm being migrated was already indexed by SettingsSearch (i.e., it had entries in sentry/data/forms ), you must add a FormSearch wrapper to the new form so search functionality is preserved. The old and new sources coexist — new registry entries take precedence over old ones for the same route + field combination — but once you remove the legacy form the old entries will disappear. Intentionally Not Migrated Feature Usage Reason allowUndo 3 forms Undo in toasts adds complexity with minimal benefit. Use simple error toasts instead. Migration Checklist Replace JsonForm/FormModel with useScrapsForm or AutoSaveField Convert field config objects to JSX AppField components Replace help → hintText on layouts Replace showHelpInTooltip → variant="compact" Replace disabledReason → disabled="reason string" Replace extraHelp → additional JSX in layout Convert confirm object to function: (value) => message | undefined Handle getData in mutationFn Handle mapFormErrors with setFieldErrors in catch Handle saveMessage in onSuccess callback Convert saveOnBlur: false fields to regular forms with Save button Verify onSuccess cache updates merge with existing data (use updater function) — some API endpoints may return partial objects Wrap the migrated form with if the old form was searchable in SettingsSearch Run pnpm run extract-form-fields and commit the updated generatedFieldRegistry.ts
