feat(platform)!: listElement references into a list of a referenced document (PV14) by QuantumExplorer · Pull Request #4940 · dashpay/platform

QuantumExplorer · 2026-09-23T12:11:57Z

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

The moderation charters contract (#4898) needs to say "this identity must be one of the seated charter's members": a resignation or a moderation action must come from someone in the elected charter's members. No refersTo target could say that: a reference names one entity by its id (or, since #4930, through a unique index), not membership in a list another document holds.

This adds a refersTo target for it, listElement, at protocol version 14, in the shape Sam proposed on review: a document reference whose document is named by a propertyAgreement pair on $id, and whose value must be in one of its lists. With #4941 and #4942 merged, the charters' owner rule is now expressible as ownerRefersTo: { anyOf: [listElement, addedModerator lookup] }. The charters contract itself is not edited here.

What was done?

The declaration

"memberId": {
  "type": "array", "byteArray": true, "minItems": 32, "maxItems": 32,
  "contentMediaType": "application/x.dash.dpp.identifier",
  "refersTo": {
    "type": "listElement",
    "documentType": "electedCharter",
    "propertyAgreement": { "electedCharterId": "$id" },
    "inList": "members"
  }
}

reads: memberId must be one of the members of the electedCharter whose $id this document's electedCharterId holds.

A list element is a document reference like permanentDocument: same contractId, documentType and propertyAgreement, same registration checks (the type must forbid deletion, every pair must exist and share one value kind). It differs in what the value is: an element of inList, not the document's id.
$id on the referenced side of an agreement is new, for every document reference, next to $ownerId and $creatorId. A listElement holds exactly one such pair, read from an identifier property of the referring type (never $ownerId: no document has the writer's id); it names the document. Other pairs are ordinary agreements checked against that document.
The $id property needs no refersTo of its own, may be optional, and must be stored (not transient, nor inside a transient object). A refersTo it does carry must be a reference by id to documentType in the list's contract; anything else (an identity, a lookup key part, a list element, another type or contract, an expression) could never hold the charter's id, so registration refuses it:
```
propertyAgreement { "lookedUpCharterId": "$id" }  (lookedUpCharterId is a lookup reference)
  -> refersTo listElement: the $id pair reads "lookedUpCharterId", whose refersTo is not a
     reference by id to "electedCharter" in the list's contract: its value could never be the
     id of the document holding the list
```
Works on an identifier property, on the elements of a typed array (feat(platform)!: refersTo on typed array elements (PV14) #4928), as a leaf of anyOf/allOf (feat(platform)!: anyOf and allOf reference expressions (PV14) #4942), and on the writer or creator through ownerRefersTo/creatorRefersTo (feat(platform)!: ownerRefersTo and creatorRefersTo, references on the document's writer and creator (PV14) #4941), where the value is that identity.

Before, meta-schema v3 refused listElement, inList, and $id on the referenced side of an agreement:

propertyAgreement { "electedCharterId": "$id" }
  -> propertyAgreement values must name a schema property of the referenced document type
     or one of its $ownerId and $creatorId system properties

After, the declaration parses to the appended DocumentPropertyReferenceTarget::ListElement(ListElementReference) (variant 9, after AnyOf 7 and AllOf 8), and a write is checked:

electedCharter 7kX...: members [Alice, Bob]

resignation { electedCharterId: 7kX..., memberId: Alice }             -> accepted
resignation { electedCharterId: 7kX..., memberId: Carol }             -> refused, paid, 40120:
  referenced list element (members of the electedCharter document electedCharterId names)
  <Carol> not found for path memberId
resignation { electedCharterId: 7kX..., witnesses: [Bob, Carol] }     -> refused, 40120 at witnesses[1]
resignation { memberId: Alice }  (no electedCharterId)                -> refused, 40120 at memberId
seatedNote written by Carol, ownerRefersTo: listElement(members)      -> refused, 40120 at $ownerId

Enforcement (drive-abci `document_reference_validation` 0, reached only from PV14)

The list element joins the document arm of validate_reference_target_v0: the document is fetched by the id the $id pair's property holds, other pairs are checked against it (the $id pair itself holds by construction and is skipped), and the value must be in its list. A miss (value not listed, id naming no document, or $id property unset) is ReferencedEntityNotFoundError (40120) with the list element as its target; a failing extra pair is 40127, as always.
Every by-id document fetch of one write is now memoized (FetchedDocuments, keyed by contract and document id, then type; each document's lists are cached on it). A charter that electedCharterId's own reference fetched is not fetched again for the list element, and the elements of one typed array share one fetch; a test pins the billed operations as identical with and without list elements. Lists are collected once into a set per document and path. Lookup results are not memoized (a key is not an id).

Replace follows the agreement rule (binds_a_changed_property): a list element is re-checked when its value changed or the referring side of any of its pairs changed, the $id property included, and then every value. No special trigger of its own, so no lookup-key blind spot.

stored:  resignation { electedCharterId: charterA [Alice, Bob], memberId: Alice }
replace: electedCharterId -> charterB [Carol]   -> refused, 40120 at memberId
replace: memberId -> Bob                        -> accepted (charter fetched, its reference untouched)
replace: reason -> "moving on"                  -> accepted, nothing re-checked

Registration

Check	Where	Error
exactly one `$id` pair, not on `$ownerId`; `inList` a property path	parser, every parse	`InvalidContractStructure`
the `$id` property exists, is a stored identifier, and any `refersTo` it carries is by id to `documentType` in the list's contract	try_from_schema generation 3, full validation, walking `reference_declarations()` (owner/creator included)	`InvalidContractStructure`
a `$id` pair on any document reference faces an identifier	contract reference validation 0	40126

electedCharter { documentsMutable: true } (members replaceable)
  -> document type "resignation" property "memberId" refersTo listElement: "members" of
     "electedCharter" can be changed by a replace: the list must be fixed once the document is
     written, so a value accepted as an element stays one (make the type immutable or list
     "members" under `immutable`)

Composition with the siblings

anyOf/allOf (feat(platform)!: anyOf and allOf reference expressions (PV14) #4942): listElement added to COMBINABLE_REFERENCE_TARGET_TYPES and the meta-schema leaf enum: an existence check against a list that never changes on a document never deleted, so it holds for good once it holds, like the other two leaves. Test: memberOrCharterId: anyOf [listElement, permanentDocument].
ownerRefersTo/creatorRefersTo (feat(platform)!: ownerRefersTo and creatorRefersTo, references on the document's writer and creator (PV14) #4941): admitted as a third target an identity can be (an element of a list of identities), in the meta-schema and parse_doctype_reference. Enforcement needed no change. Tests: dpp (alone, in an anyOf, bad $id pair refused naming ownerRefersTo) and ABCI (a member may write a seatedNote, a stranger is refused at $ownerId).
Shared is_transient (refactor(dpp): share one is_transient helper for lookup sources and encryptedFor #4949): used for both sides.

Design calls worth a look

$id on the referenced side is admitted for every document reference, not only listElement. On an id reference it is redundant ({ x: "$id" } says x equals the value), but harmless and uniform.
documentType stays explicit although the $id pair could carry it implicitly, to keep the declaration readable on its own and share the document-reference code.
The $id property may be optional; a value set while it is not is refused.
New error 40138 / StateError discriminant 146, appended. Open feat(platform)!: yes/no masternode vote poll kind with supermajority and minimum voting power #4899 also claims 146; whichever merges second renumbers.
By-id fetch memo is new for all references in one write: behaviour-preserving (same document, same outcome) but it lowers the fee of a write naming one document twice. Unreleased PV14 only.

Clients

wasm-dpp2: documentTypeReferences reports { type: 'listElement', contractId, documentType, propertyAgreement, inList }; DocumentReferenceErrorCode.ReferencedDocumentListInvalid = 40138.
wasm-dpp maps the new state error.
Swift and Kotlin are out of scope: their models carry no reference declarations.

Docs

v14 changelog item 35 (after #4941's 34); book/src/data-model/documents.md section "An element of a list (listElement)", and #4941's section now lists three owner/creator targets; meta-schema descriptions.

In-place changes to shipped generations

create_document_types_from_document_schemas v1 (CONTRACT_VERSIONS_V2 to V6, protocol versions 9 to 14). The new loop acts only on ListElement declarations, which exist only where the tables carry apply_property_reference: Some(_): no protocol version before 14 does (their meta-schemas refuse refersTo and their parser ignores it), so the loop finds nothing there and the output is unchanged. Same argument and place as feat(platform)!: keyRequirements on identity key references (PV14) #4918's boundTo, feat(platform)!: document references resolved through a unique index (PV14) #4930's lookup and feat(platform)!: anyOf and allOf reference expressions (PV14) #4942's expression checks.

Every other edited generation is reached only from protocol version 14, which is unreleased: apply_property_reference_v0, try_from_schema generation 3, meta-schema v3, document reference validation v0 and contract reference validation v0.

How Has This Been Tested?

rs-dpp (list_element_reference_tests, meta-validators, update rules, state error, #4941's owner_reference_tests, parser tests): parse on a property, on elements, through a plain identifier, with extra pairs, as an expression leaf, on the writer; refusals for a non-identifier property, missing/non-identifier/$ownerId $id property, zero or two $id pairs, transient $id property or list (also inside a transient object), missing or non-identifier-array list, deletable or mutable list type; list in another contract left to registration; PV13 refused, PV14 accepted; reference bound; serialization round trip; malformed declarations; update incompatibility; ListElement encodes as variant 9, 40138 as discriminant 146.

rs-dpp also: a $id property whose reference names an identity, another type, another contract, a lookup or an expression is refused; the declaring contract named explicitly is accepted.

drive-abci (reference-validation-contract-list-element.json and six registration/update fixtures): $id on an ordinary reference's agreement (holds, 40127 when it does not; 40126 at registration facing a string); two ordinary references to one document billed one fetch, two documents two; listed accepted, unlisted refused, unset or dangling $id refused, plain-identifier $id, typed array elements, extra pair (40127), replace (repoint refused, value change refused/accepted, every element rechecked), nested meta.charterId into seats.members, anyOf composition, ownerRefersTo composition, list in another contract, billing (one fetch shared), registration (foreign valid, foreign non-list 40138, same-contract replaceable list), contract update (valid and invalid listElement added).

Mutation-checked: without the fetch memo the billing test fails; without the agreement replace trigger the repoint and nested tests fail.

Breaking Changes

Protocol version 14 (unreleased) only: a new refersTo target, $id admitted on the referenced side of agreements, listElement admitted in expressions and owner/creator references, a new consensus error (40138, StateError discriminant 146) and a new DocumentPropertyReferenceTarget variant; DocumentReferenceDeclaration gains in_list, and the public constant REFERENCED_SYSTEM_AGREEMENT_PROPERTIES grows from [&str; 2] to [&str; 3] ($id added), so code naming its type must be updated. Exhaustive matches or struct literals on those in downstream Rust code must be updated.

…ocument (PV14) A new refersTo target, listElement: the value (or each element of a typed array of identifiers) must be an element of the typed array `list` held by the `documentType` document that `documentProperty`, a permanentDocument reference of the same referring document (by id or through a lookup), refers to. - Meta-schema v3: listElement in the refersTo.type enum, documentProperty and list required for it and refused elsewhere, no contractId. - dpp: appended DocumentPropertyReferenceTarget::ListElement (ListElementReference), parsed by apply_property_reference_v0; the referring side is checked by generation 3 under full validation, a list in the same contract by create_document_types_from_document_schemas v1 (in place, inert before PV14): the list's type forbids deletion and the list is a stored typed array of identifiers fixed once written. - drive-abci: a list in another contract is checked at registration and refused with the new ReferencedDocumentListInvalidError (40138, StateError discriminant 146). At write time list elements are checked after every other reference, against the document documentProperty's reference fetched, so the check adds no read; a miss is ReferencedEntityNotFoundError (40120) with the list element target. A replace re-validates when the value or documentProperty changed. - wasm-dpp2 reports the declaration and the new error code; wasm-dpp maps the error. v14 changelog item 33, book section.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds listElement as a document reference type. Contract validation checks its declaration and list constraints. Document validation checks that referenced values appear in the declared list. Rust and WASM representations, error handling, tests, and documentation also cover the new type.

Changes

List-element document references

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Declare and parse references `packages/rs-dpp/schema/meta_schemas/document/v3/document-meta.json`, `packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/document_type/property/`, `packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/document_type/class_methods/try_from_schema/`, `packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/document_type/mod.rs`, `packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/document_type/methods/validate_update/common/mod.rs`, `packages/rs-dpp/src/validation/meta_validators/mod.rs`	The v3 schema accepts `listElement` with `documentType`, `documentProperty`, and `list`. The Rust model parses the declaration and validates its referring and referenced properties. Tests cover malformed declarations, protocol-version behavior, serialization, reference limits, and schema-update incompatibility.
Validate declarations at contract registration `packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/document_type/class_methods/create_document_types_from_document_schemas/v1/mod.rs`, `packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/validation/state_transition/state_transitions/data_contract_common/.../v0/mod.rs`, `packages/rs-dpp/src/errors/consensus/state/`, `packages/rs-dpp/src/errors/consensus/codes.rs`, `packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/validation/state_transition/state_transitions/data_contract_create/mod.rs`, `packages/rs-drive-abci/tests/supporting_files/contract/reference-validation/list-element*.json`, `packages/wasm-dpp/src/errors/consensus/consensus_error.rs`, `packages/wasm-dpp2/src/consensus_error.rs`	Contract validation checks local and foreign list declarations. Invalid foreign lists map to consensus error 40138. Registration tests cover valid references and invalid or mutable lists.
Check list membership on document writes `packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/validation/state_transition/state_transitions/batch/action_validation/document/document_reference_validation/v0/mod.rs`, `packages/rs-drive-abci/src/execution/validation/state_transition/state_transitions/batch/tests/document/*`	Document validation checks scalar values and typed-array elements against the fetched list. Tests cover missing members, replacements, lookup-resolved documents, cross-contract lists, and read billing.
Expose and document the reference type `packages/wasm-dpp2/src/data_contract/document_type_reference.rs`, `packages/wasm-dpp2/tests/unit/DocumentPropertyReference.spec.ts`, `book/src/data-model/documents.md`, `packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/v14.rs`	The WASM type serializes the reference fields and recognizes error 40138. The data-model and protocol-version documentation describe the declaration and its validation rules.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c0983

This change adds list-element references. Two issues should be fixed before merge. A new test helper fails the package lint check. Replacing a document that changes only a list-element value can also be wrongly refused when an agreed property on the referenced document has changed since the original write. A JS-facing doc comment also misstates which error codes the getter recognizes. Each fix is small.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the documentReferenceErrorCode getter doc to include 40137 and 40138.

This PR makes from_code return 40138. The getter doc still lists only "40120-40125, 40131, 40135 and 40136". This doc is published to JS clients. With the current text, clients can conclude that the getter returns undefined for 40137 and 40138. Use the same range as from_code (Line 84).
Proposed fix

Skip property_agreement for list-source-only revalidation.

is_list_source forces validate_reference_v0 to run when only a list element changed. That function then compares property_agreement against the current referenced document. If another agreed property changed after the original write, an unrelated replace can fail with ReferencedDocumentPropertyMismatchError.

Keep the fetch, billing, existence check, and returned fetched_document. Add a mode or flag that skips only the agreement comparison when the list source is the sole reason for revalidation. Keep the comparison when the reference or an agreement-bound property changed.

Rename the shadowing schemas parameter.

The new parameter shadows the schemas binding at Line 47. The supplied ESLint result reports @typescript-eslint/no-shadow as an error, so this test file fails that lint check. Rename the parameter and its use at Line 508 to contractSchemas. (typescript-eslint.io)

…ing, nested transient) - A replace that moves documentProperty onto another document through a lookup key part now checks its list elements again (every element), by the same rule the reference's own re-validation applies (document_reference_may_move over lookup_key_may_have_changed). - A replace changing only a list element's value no longer re-judges documentProperty's reference (deletability, propertyAgreement): the list's document is resolved without judging (resolve_list_document_v0), billed as a document fetch. Contract resolution and the id/lookup fetch are split out of validate_reference_v0 (referenced_contract_v0, fetch_referenced_document_v0) and shared. - validate_reference_v0's ListElement arm resolves the list instead of returning an internal error. - List elements are collected in the main loop (no second property walk); typed array element extraction is shared (reference_values_v0, stored_elements_v0); the list is collected once into a set. - dpp: one document_property_declaration for both registration helpers; documentProperty and list inside a transient object are refused; the fixed-once-written rule is shared with lookups; the referring-side check runs in every build; the path bound reuses MAX_PROPERTY_PATH_LENGTH. - Tests: lookup key move, nested documentProperty/list paths, contract update adding a valid and an invalid listElement, nested transient refusals. Book, meta-schema and changelog wording corrected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ment Merges anyOf/allOf (#4942) and the transient-object fixes (#4943, #4948), and reworks listElement to the shape Sam proposed: "refersTo": { "type": "listElement", "documentType": "electedCharter", "propertyAgreement": { "electedCharterId": "$id" }, "inList": "members" } - The list's document is found by the agreement pair with `$id` on the referenced side (exactly one, read from a stored identifier property, never $ownerId); `documentProperty`/`list` are gone. `$id` joins $ownerId and $creatorId as a referenced-side agreement name for every document reference. - A list element is a document reference: contractId allowed, `as_any_document_reference` carries it with `in_list`, so registration checks its contract, type and pairs through the shared code; the $id property needs no refersTo of its own. - Write time: the document is fetched by id through a per-write memo shared with every by-id reference (one fetch for the charter and its list elements); lists are collected once into a set. Replace triggers are the agreement's (binds_a_changed_property). - listElement is a combinable leaf of anyOf/allOf (target variant 9). - Tests, fixtures, meta-schema, changelog item 34, book and wasm-dpp2 updated.

…fersTo Merges ownerRefersTo/creatorRefersTo (#4941) and the shared is_transient helper (#4949). - ownerRefersTo and creatorRefersTo take a listElement as a target (alone or as a leaf of an expression): an identity id can be an element of a list of identities, the charters' "the writer is a seated member". Meta-schema, parser leaf check and docs updated; enforcement needed no change, the owner and creator references go through the same validator. - The listElement registration checks walk reference_declarations(), so an owner- or creator-held list element is checked as a property's is. - list_element_reference uses the shared is_transient; the changelog item is now 35, after ownerRefersTo's 34. - Composing tests: dpp (ownerRefersTo listElement, alone and in an anyOf, with a bad $id pair refused) and ABCI (a seatedNote a member may write and a stranger may not, refused at $ownerId).

…sts) - Registration refuses a `$id` property whose own refersTo is not a reference by id to the list's document type in the list's contract (an identity, a lookup key part, a list element, another type or contract, an expression): its value could never be the id of the document holding the list, so every write setting the list element would be refused. - The per-write fetch memo is keyed by (contract, document id) then type name, with each document's lists cached on it, so a list is never read across contracts or types; a hit allocates nothing. - The `$id` pair a list element's document was fetched by is no longer re-checked in the agreement loop: it holds by construction. - Tests: `$id` on an ordinary reference's agreement at write time (holds, 40127 when it does not) and at registration (40126 facing a string); two ordinary references to one document billed one fetch, two documents two. - ReferencedDocumentListInvalidError's field is `in_list`, after the keyword; DocumentReferenceDeclaration's docs name every document reference target; the test file imports DocumentReferenceDeclaration at the top.

… the leader Built on #4940 (listElement), #4941 (ownerRefersTo) and #4942 (anyOf), merged in from v4.2-dev. The resignation request: - may be filed only by a member of the seated team: ownerRefersTo holds an anyOf of a listElement (the writer is in the elected charter's members, the charter found through the electedCharterId $id pair) and a lookup of an addedModerator for the charter keyed by the writer; the leader is in neither list; - carries a message encrypted to the leader, with the leader's decryption key bound to submittedCharter and the member's encryption key bound to joinRequest, the keys join requests already use; - is deletable (Sam), so it is a request the leader acts on with a removal and the member withdraws by deleting it. It changes the team by itself no longer: ElectedCharter::active_members drops its resignations input. The charter changelog item is renumbered 36 after the three new items.
