  Sorry for the delay!

  
  
  

  This seems at first like a depth issue

  
  
  

  Can you share how you're collection is setup?

  
  
  

  If you're only seeing the ID's of items, that is sometimes due to the

  depth

  property on a field

• 

  _akshyalast year

  {

  
  

  name: "Brand",

  
  

  type: "relationship",

  
  

  relationTo: "brand",

  
  

  required: true,

  
  

  hasMany: false,

  
  

  maxDepth: 10,

  
  

  admin: {

  
  

  width: "35%",

  
  

  },

  
  

  },

  
  
  

  hooks: { beforeValidate: [(data) => console.log(data)] },

  
  
  

  I added this hook to get the value of the selected item in the relationship

• 

  notchrlast year

  on the Brand field

• 

  _akshyalast year

  But it gets me the id only

• 

  notchrlast year

  add the property

  depth: 2
  
  

  and let me know if that changes anythin g

  Is this what you were asking?
• 

  notchrlast year

  Yes

  
  
  

  Looks like depth isn't an option

• 

  _akshyalast year

  Yes

  Someome may have a better idea, but you can access req.payload in your field hook I believe

  
  
  

  which will give you access to findById

  hooks: {

  
  

  beforeValidate: [

  
  

  async (data) => {

  
  

  console.log(data.req.payload);

  
  

  try {

  
  

  const req = await fetch(

  
  

  ${data.req.payload.config.serverURL}/api/brand/${data.value}
  

  );

  
  

  const response = await req.json();

  
  

  console.log(

  
  

  "RESPONSE",

  
  

  ${data.req.payload.config.serverURL}/api/brand/${data.value}

  ,

  
  

  response

  
  

  );

  
  

  } catch (err) {

  
  

  console.log(err);

  
  

  }

  
  

  },

  
  

  ],

  
  

  },

  
  
  
  
  

  I am getting this error with the above code
• 

  notchrlast year

  Are you using a where clause

  
  
  

  somewhere

  
  
  

  OR tabs

  
  
  

  also, what is in the data array on that error

• 

  _akshyalast year

  No WHERE or TABS, I am simply using the findById the way the documentation says.

  What is your access control like on the collection brand

• 

  _akshyalast year

  read: publishedOnly,

• 

  notchrlast year

  temporarily

  
  
  

  change that to

  
  
  

  () => true

  
  
  

  and see if it works, then we know its an access issue

• 

  _akshyalast year

  Nope. Same error.

• 

  notchrlast year

  what does the log say for req.payload

  
  
  

  are you able to use a local API style command

  If Discord ever releases a donate button - I think you may be setting yourself up for another stream of income 😉
