  You should have access to

  payload

  in your validate function without having to import it.

  
  
  

  validate: async (value, { payload }) => {
    const getSomething = await payload.find({ /** whatever you need */});
  }

  
  
  

  Does this help?

  I have tried it this way, but the outcome is the same:

  
  

  "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading "find")"

  
  
  

  This is the code I tried just now:

  
  
  validate: async (value, {payload}) => { const getSomething = await payload.find({ collection: 'pages' }); console.log(getSomething); },

  I don't think this is true, bc validate is used on the frontend so it would not have access to the payload class

  
  
  

  So no, you will not be able to use payload in the validate function.You could instead use a beforeValidate hook and access payload there and throw an error if you need.
