  How does the object in MongoDB look?

  @imcorfitz It looks like this:

  
  
  

  _id: ObjectId('id')
  external_url: "test"
  filename: "test-18.png"
  mimeType: "image/png"
  filesize: 4369
  width: 248
  height: 71
  __v: 0

  
  

  I need to get the

  external_url

  field to be part of the returned API.

  
  

  
  

  Update: When I put the endpoint within the collection itself, that field appears, but when I put the endpoint in

  payload.config.ts

  , the field disappears. That is even more confusing because I intent to place the endpoint within

  payload.config.ts

  not within the collection

  
  

  
  

  Update2: It seems that my issue was that I have set the field directly to

  hidden: true

  thinking that it will disable the field from appearing on the UI, while the reality is that it was actually hiding the field from appearing in the API.

  
  

  {
        name: 'external_url',
        type: 'text',
        hidden: true
  }

  
  

  The correct implementation for hiding the field from admin UI is that it should be wrapped with admin config like this:

  
  

  {
        name: 'external_url',
        type: 'text',
        admin: {
          hidden: true,
        },
  }

  
  

  This would hide it from admin UI but keep it in the API. Thankss!!
