  Thanks for this, i'l have a look

  
  
  

  it is a

  beforeChange

  type of hook

  
  
  

  const anotherHook: CollectionBeforeChangeHook<Blog> = async ({ data, req, operation }) => {
    if (
      operation === 'update' &&
      data !== undefined &&
      req.user !== undefined &&
      req.user !== null
    ) {
      data['author'] = {
        relationTo: 'users',
        value: req.user.id,
      }
    }
    
    return data;
  }

  
  
  

  I tried to do something similar, but I get this error:

  'relationTo' does not exist in type 'User'.
  
  

  OK, it worked

  
  

  export const validateAuthor: CollectionBeforeChangeHook<Blog> = async ({ data, req, operation }) => {
    if (
      operation === 'update' &&
      data !== undefined &&
      !data.author &&
      req.user !== undefined &&
      req.user !== null
    ) {
      data.author = req.user.id
      return data;
    }
  }

  
  
  

  but I wanted to make it a FieldHook

  
  
  

  is that not possible??

  
  
  

  right now this is at the collections level
