v3.63.0

## [v3.63.0](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/compare/v3.62.0...v3.63.0) (2025-11-07)


### 🚀 Features

* add support for polymorphic uploads ([#14363](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/14363)) ([df40d0e](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/commit/df40d0e))
* adds new UI option Duplicate In [Select Locales] ([#13803](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/13803)) ([53d8557](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/commit/53d8557))

#### **Polymorphic Uploads**

Upload fields can now reference multiple upload collections, similar to polymorphic relationships. This enables more flexible media management where a single field can accept different types of files from various collections. Works seamlessly with bulk upload and `hasMany` options. [#14363](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/14363)

```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'

export const ExampleCollection: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'example-collection',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'media',
      type: 'upload',
      relationTo: ['images', 'documents', 'videos'], // references multiple upload collections
    },
  ],
}
```

Can also be combined with `hasMany`:

```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'

export const ExampleCollection: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'example-collection',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'media',
      type: 'upload',
      relationTo: ['images', 'documents', 'videos'], // references multiple upload collections
      hasMany: true, // allows multiple uploads
    },
  ],
}
```
