I want to populate a multilevel relational field on strapi with REST API with specific field selection, but only the id comes up at the response.
When I populate the field without field selections with a GET request at: localhost:1337/api/home?populate[0]=Reasons&populate[1]=Reasons.IconsList&populate[2]=Reasons.IconsList.Icon, I get this JSON response:

Following this guide: Population for REST API - Strapi Developer Docs, when I try to define the fields I want from the response: localhost:1337/api/home?fields[0]=PageInfo&populate[Reasons][IconsList]fields]=Content , I only get this JSON:
{
"data": {
"id": 1,
"attributes": {
"PageInfo": "Homepage",
"Reasons": {
"id": 1
}
}
},
"meta": {}
}
I want to get IconsList’s Content and Icon.alternativeText and Icon.url but I cannot find how to build my query parameters.
Really useful tutorial btw!
