I'm trying to use PayloadCMS with Postgres and stuck on relationship type of field. When I use it, it uses a primary key "id" as a text for options inside the dropdown, when I want title to be used instead. It feels like a bug specifically with Postgres, since based on all examples availalbe there should not be any extra code, however anyway I can't find a way to customizing these texts since it also feels like quite an obvious feature.

In your referenced collection are you setting up your
admin.useAsTitle
configuration?
https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/collections#admin-options

this is what tells the cms what field it can use as a preview/title

Perfect, thank you very much for very quick response. It helped. I think it would be great mentioning it inside Relationship documentation page.

i get this error:

'useAsTitle' does not exist in type 'Admin'

how did you implement it @pixelpoint ?

this is my config:

 {
      name: 'artist',
      label: 'Artist',
      type: 'relationship',
      relationTo: 'artists',
      admin: {
        sortOptions: 'name',
        useAsTitle: 'name',
      },
    },
