heyo, thanks for this great work. It's helped a lot.
I'm buillding an api for… some livestream events and using assets uploaded with the mux video uploader in a relational field for each event. Event is a collection type.
When i use the strapi rest API to findone event and populate it's 'recording' field, everything works as expected:
`/api/events/dfdfg?populate[0]=messages&populate[1]=recording`
( here i am replacing the findOne controller with a custom one to use slugs instead of ids. But this shouldn't affect population since params are passed on normally ).
```
{
"data": {
"id": 2,
"title": "dfdfg",
"slug": "dfdfg",
"starts": "2022-01-31T23:00:00.000Z",
"ends": "2022-01-30T23:00:00.000Z",
"marquee": "The Hmm || ",
"info": null,
"backgroundColor": "rgb(255,255,255)",
"showViewerCount": null,
"allowFlyingEmoji": true,
"highlightDonateButton": false,
"chatPlaybackDelay": null,
"createdAt": "2022-02-21T22:34:25.313Z",
"updatedAt": "2022-03-15T08:23:21.968Z",
"publishedAt": "2022-02-28T15:23:46.867Z",
"messages": {
"data": []
},
"recording": {
"data": {
"id": 3,
"title": "another test now",
"upload_id": "F01FV5mDewtEWcukyzhjHmgnoHZpfTRC1W5VSUfF70228",
"asset_id": "wlip7KeikzLQnjCMur6yXk6Je7rC3ha2pr5GQiwdV7M",
"playback_id": "PB26fp01hHuI6jwmLEFfY3RYmWmEfS011bcPKs2pNeEDA",
"error_message": null,
"isReady": true,
"createdAt": "2022-03-09T10:38:57.635Z",
"updatedAt": "2022-03-09T10:39:23.683Z"
}
}
}
}
```
However, when i use the rest API to findmany events and populate the 'recording' field, it doesn't work:
`api/events?populate[0]=messages&populate[1]=recording`
```
{
"data": [
{
...
},
{
"id": 2,
"title": "dfdfg",
"slug": "dfdfg",
"starts": "2022-01-31T23:00:00.000Z",
"ends": "2022-01-30T23:00:00.000Z",
"marquee": "The Hmm || ",
"info": null,
"backgroundColor": "rgb(255,255,255)",
"showViewerCount": null,
"allowFlyingEmoji": true,
"highlightDonateButton": false,
"chatPlaybackDelay": null,
"createdAt": "2022-02-21T22:34:25.313Z",
"updatedAt": "2022-03-15T08:23:21.968Z",
"publishedAt": "2022-02-28T15:23:46.867Z",
"messages": {
"data": []
}
},
{
.....
}
]
}
```
I was thinking of posting this issue to strapi but it looks like populating works for all other fields (as you can see with 'messages' field).
Is it because of the type of relation? Am I missing something? Maybe I did something wrong?
