Its not problem to deeply populate the image:
GET /api/articles?populate[0]=seoData&populate[1]=seoData.sharedImage&populate[2]=seoData.sharedImage.media

but I would need to filter, if an field matches a certain value in the first population.
Here my code:

http://localhost:1337/api/haiberg-sites?filters[slug][$eq]=referenzen&populate=sections.references.image

This returns the correct result but I have to filter in “sections”, which is the dynamic zone, for a field called “componentName”. The correct code for filtering is:

populate[sections][filters][componentName][$eq]=value

but then the images are gone. How can I deeply populate, filter for this value and still get the images/media?

Thank you very much.
