Hi there i am also intrested about this
Here is a nice guide to population by strapi
I made some helper functions for the process itself but I am with the same tools qs query ect.
I ran into this @William_Kyaw when I escalated a media (image) as a resusable component
even populate: “*” gave back only id: number inside the media {}. There is no data {} to crawl further.
If i throw the image to the root (or anywhere) as a new element it be seen nicely.
I tried nested population ect.
If this is solved somehow would be great to know how.
