  Hey Sean, I'm using the latest version of payload, however I've resolved the issue with the help of @dribbens.

  
  
  

  I was using the following collection configuration:

  
  
  

  import { CollectionConfig } from "payload/types"
  import columns from "../blocks/columns"
  import { formatSlug } from "../helpers"
  
  const Pages: CollectionConfig = {
      slug: "pages",
      admin: {
          useAsTitle: "title"
      },
      versions: {
          drafts: {
              autosave: true,
          },
      },
      fields: [
          {
              name: "title",
              type: "text",
          },
          {
              name: "excerpt",
              type: "textarea",
          },
          {
              name: "image",
              type: "upload",
              relationTo: "media",
          },
          {
              name: "slug",
              type: "text",
              unique: true,
              hooks: {
                  beforeChange: [formatSlug],
              },
              admin: {
                  position: "sidebar",
                  readOnly: true,
              },
          },
          {
              name: "content",
              type: "blocks",
              blocks: [columns],
          },
      ],
  }
  
  export default Pages

  
  
  

  The

  beforeChange

  hook in the slug field was making the autosave fail whenever there were multiple drafts present.

  
  
  

  I resolved it by replacing

  beforeChange

  with

  beforeValidate

  like follows:

  
  

          {
              name: "slug",
              type: "text",
              unique: true,
              hooks: {
                  beforeValidate: [formatSlug],
              },
              admin: {
                  position: "sidebar",
                  readOnly: true,
              },
          },
