I've gotten as far as figuring out how to use onInit() config option to run a script, and using the payload.create method from the docs, but I can't find any docs on how to use this with an Upload collection.

I've also found that the in the object supplied to

payload.create()

, the

data

field has a

files

field with type

fs.promises.FileHandle[]

. I've passed this type to payload but I get:

Hi @sibergenome - to use
payload.create
on an upload-enabled collection you need to additionally define the
filePath
, for example:
```
    collection: 'uploads',
    filePath: '/filepath',
    data: {...}
  });
```
