  @johnmadrigal_ can you paste in your configs? You may I can help you write a query for this, which would look something like this

  ?where[location.group.title][equals]=hello&depth=3

  (depth might be your missing piece)

  Hello Jacob, thanks for responding. I am using your sample work name "website-cms" and I also found the same issue with your code.

  
  
  

  This is the repo code:

  
  https://github.com/payloadcms/website-cms/blob/main/src/collections/Posts.ts
  
  

  Can you create a Post record and create a query for "author.photo.alt"? Because in my end, even if I puth depth in the query, it still shows nothing.

  
  
  http://localhost:9000/api/posts?where[author.photo.alt][equals]=test&depth=3
  
  

  I'm suspecting that it is not allowed to query the 2nd nested collection, which in your code, the photo inside author which is under post.

  
  
  

  That is the exact issue i'm facing in my own payloadcms app.

  Thanks for the description! Very helpful. That query

  should

  look like this:

  https://cms.payloadcms.com/api/posts?where[author.photo.alt][equals]=Write%20for%20the%20Community%20Blog%20Image

  but it appears to be broken at the moment 😢

  
  

  
  

  Go ahead and pull an issue in our repo if you'd like. We'll get this patched up.

  Okay thanks, but is this working before? or we really don't have feature like this?

  This was working before so once we fix the issue we'll also write tests to prevent future regression.
