EasyAdminBundle 4.27.0 queries all rows in a table causing a crash

Something in 4.27.0 generates following SQL:

SELECT v0_.foo1  AS foo1_0,
       v0_.foo2  AS foo2_1,
       v0_.foo3  AS foo3_2,
       v0_.foo4  AS foo4_3,
       v0_.foo5  AS foo5_4,
       v0_.foo6  AS foo6_5,
       v0_.foo7  AS foo7_6,
       v0_.foo8  AS foo8_7,
       v0_.foo9  AS foo9_8,
       v0_.foo10 AS foo10_9,
       v0_.foo11 AS foo11_10,
       v0_.foo12 AS foo12_11,
       v0_.foo13 AS foo13_12,
       v0_.foo14 AS foo14_13,
       v0_.foo15 AS foo15_14,
       v0_.foo16 AS foo16_15,
       v0_.foo17 AS foo17_16,
       v0_.foo18 AS foo18_17
FROM foos v0_

The table has millions of rows so the app runs out of memory and crashes.

Here's a stack trace where this SQL is executed:

It's the CollectionField field somehow, but doesn't happen with every CollectionField I have.

Will try to create a minimal reproducer later

Nov 27 '25 15:11 simoheinonen

It's something in https://github.com/EasyCorp/EasyAdminBundle/pull/7195

Dec 05 '25 13:12 simoheinonen

minimal reproducer:

https://github.com/simoheinonen/ea-7263

Uses sqlite with data.db

/admin/foo/1/edit

and you'll see this in the profiler:

If you downgrade to 4.26.5 composer require "easycorp/easyadmin-bundle:4.26.5" then it works as expected

I have experienced similar/related issues, where unrequested entities could not be stringified. Downgrading made it work again.

Hello,

After a quick investigation, it seems the issue originates from PR #7195, which sets CrudFormType as the default entry_type for all collection fields.

In the minimal reproducer, the problem appears because the FooCrudController has the Bar entity configured as an association field. This means that when editing a Foo entity, EasyAdmin tries to populate the Bar association field by querying all Bar entities, resulting in a very large query.

A quick workaround could be to use the new autocomplete option for association fields:

AssociationField::new('bar')->autocomplete()
