+# Field extensions
+
+## Problem statement
+
+The current GraphQL specification allows type system extensions.
+
+For example, it is possible to add directives to an existing type. In this example (from the specification text), a directive is added to a User type without adding fields:
+
+```graphql
+extend type User @addedDirective
+```
+
+The same thing is not possible for fields:
+
+```graphql
+# This is not valid GraphQL
+extend type User {
+  id: ID! @key
+}
+```
+
+But adding directives to an existing field is not possible:
+
+```graphql
+directive @semanticNonNull on FIELD_DEFINITION
+
+type User {
+  email: String
+  #...
+}
+
+extend type User {
+  # This is not valid GraphQL
+  email: String @semanticNonNull 
+}
+```
+
+Similarly, it's not possible to deprecate a field in a type system extension:
+
+```graphql
+extend type User {
+  # This is not valid GraphQL
+  email: String @semanticNonNull @deprecated("Use primaryEmail instead") 
+}
+```
+
+This proposal makes it possible to add new directives to an existing field.
+
+## Overview
+
+This GAP builds on the current ability to extend types and further allows adding directives to existing fields.
+
+Note: in the spirit of preserving option value, this proposal doesn't say anything about adding new arguments. Adding this would be a natural addition but hasn't had a use-case yet. Anyone interested in this, please open a pull request with your use case.
+
+The resulting operation is a merge. The following SDL:
+
+```graphql
+type User {
+  email: String
+}
+
+extend type User {
+  email: String @semanticNonNull @deprecated("Use primaryEmail instead")
+}
+```
+
+is equivalent to:
+
+```graphql
+type User {
+  email: String @semanticNonNull @deprecated("Use primaryEmail instead")
+}
+```
+
+## Type validation
+
+The spec text for object type extension would need a paragraph like so:
+
+```
+Object type extensions have the potential to be invalid if incorrectly defined.
+
+1. The named type must already be defined and must be an Object type.
+2. For each field of an Object type extension:
+   1. The field must have a unique name within that Object type extension; no
+      two fields may share the same name.
+   2. If a field with the same name exists on the previous Object type:
+      1. The field type must match the previous definition exactly.
+      2. The field description must match the previous definition exactly.
+      3. Any non-repeatable directives provided must not already apply to the
+         previous definition.
+      4. The arguments must match exactly.
+3. Any non-repeatable directives provided must not already apply to the previous Object type.
+4. Any interfaces provided must not be already implemented by the previous
+   Object type.
+5. The resulting extended object type must be a super-set of all interfaces it
+   implements.
+```
+
+The same validation would be added for interfaces.

+This is a proposal to allow field extensions. There used to be [spec edits](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-spec/pull/1196) but as it seemed hard to merge, it is moved to a GAP. The matching [graphql-spec issue](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-spec/issues/1162) is still active. Feel free to comment there or open a PR to this GAP.
+
+This is currently implemented in Apollo Kotlin.
