Transforming entity for unified response loose relation data

[details=“System Information”]

  • Strapi Version: V4.0.2
  • Operating System: mac OS Monterey

I have 2 entities named SampleFileExtensions and SampleFileVariants having relationship one to many. For example, MP4 is an extension and it can have multiple variants like Large, Medium, Small. So my function for getting extension look like this:

async findOne(ctx) {
      const { slug } = ctx.params;

      const entity = await strapi.db
        .query("api::sample-file-extension.sample-file-extension")
        .findOne({
          where: { slug: slug },
          populate: { variants: true },
        });

      const sanitizedEntity = await this.sanitizeOutput(entity, ctx);

      return { data: entity };

      //   return this.transformResponse(sanitizedEntity);
    },

But problem is transforming an entity for unified response loose related object. see the screenshots below: (this.transformResponse(sanitizedEntity):wink:

My schema.json look like this:

{
  "kind": "collectionType",
  "collectionName": "sample_file_extensions",
  "info": {
    "singularName": "sample-file-extension",
    "pluralName": "sample-file-extensions",
    "displayName": "SampleFileExtension"
  },
  "options": {
    "draftAndPublish": true
  },
  "pluginOptions": {},
  "attributes": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "info": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "details": {
      "type": "richtext"
    },
    "slug": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "variants": {
      "type": "relation",
      "relation": "oneToMany",
      "target": "api::sample-file-variant.sample-file-variant",
      "mappedBy": "extension"
    },
    "type": {
      "type": "relation",
      "relation": "manyToOne",
      "target": "api::sample-file-type.sample-file-type",
      "inversedBy": "extensions"
    }
  }
}

The strange thing is loss of relation is happening only for variants relation. If I add type relation in a populate object then it works fine.
