Description

Describe the Bug

When filtering by relationship entries, the filtering itself appears to work correctly:

  • The filter parameters in the URL look correct.
  • The displayed results seem to match the selected filter.

However, after selecting an item from the referenced collection, the currently selected item is often removed unexpectedly. The behavior appears random and is not consistently reproducible.

Research direction

The issue points to the Payload repository and a reproduction recording, but names no files or tests. Start by reproducing the behavior in the referenced collection UI and trace the relationship-filtering flow in the core and UI areas; done means selecting a referenced item no longer removes the current item unexpectedly.
