after read hook - infinite loop
3
Hey guys
I have a "movies" collection, and I field called "related movies'. When returning the movie, I want to populate the "related movies' field. So, I used afterreadhook where I make a call to "movies" collection to get 5 random movies. Seems like afterread hook got triggered for other movies as well and I ended up in the infinite loop. Is there a way to stop it after the first time?
Morning! Can we see your logic please?
It seems like passing
