…ransform When `_do_transform` is False, `RandGridDistortiond.__call__` was calling `convert_to_tensor(d, ...)` on the entire input dict. This recursively converts *all* values — including non-image entries such as integers and scalars — into PyTorch tensors. The converted dict is then returned to the DataLoader which hands it to MONAI's `collate_meta_tensor_fn`. That collate path expects non-image entries to remain as their original Python types; receiving 0-d tensors instead triggers an `AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'numel'` when the collate function iterates over what it believes to be a batch of tensors. Fix: iterate over `self.key_iterator(d)` and convert only those values, exactly as the transform loop further down in the same method already does. This matches the per-key pattern used in sibling transforms such as `RandAffined` and leaves unrelated dict entries unchanged. Also adds a regression test that verifies integer and string entries are preserved when the transform is skipped (prob=0.0).

In `@monai/transforms/spatial/dictionary.py`:
- Around line 2313-2315: When first_key equals an empty tuple, the code
incorrectly converts the entire dictionary to tensors using convert_to_tensor,
which causes unwanted non-key coercion when allow_missing_keys is True and leads
to collation failures. In the if first_key == () block, simply return d
unchanged instead of calling convert_to_tensor(d, track_meta=get_track_meta()),
since an empty first_key means there are no configured keys to process.

Hi @AlexanderSanin I think this change is correct but please look at the coderabbit comment. Are there other transforms with this behaviour as well? It might be incorrect everywhere for the same reasons if so. Thanks! |

Use a descriptive name for the transform.
g does not identify the RandGridDistortiond instance. Rename it to transform.

Description
Fixes #8604
Root Cause
RandGridDistortiond.__call__usesconvert_to_tensor(d, track_meta=...)on the entire input dict when the transform is skipped (_do_transform=False).convert_to_tensorrecursively converts every value in the dict — including non-image entries such as scalars and integers — into PyTorch tensors.When the DataLoader collates a batch of these dicts, MONAI's
collate_meta_tensor_fnis invoked for entries that now appear as tensors. That collate path expects non-image keys to retain their original Python types; receiving 0-d tensors instead triggers:Fix
Replace the whole-dict conversion with a per-key loop using
self.key_iterator(d), so only the keys this transform is responsible for are converted. This matches the pattern already used in thefor key, mode, padding_mode in self.key_iterator(...)loop further down in the same method, and mirrors the approach in sibling transforms such asRandAffined.Changes
