  So, the only way I've been able to make this work on both web and react native is to first upload the asset into the media collection, grab the returned doc.id and use that id to save to the collection - like

  cover_image = returned.doc.id

  Hello, I am trying to do this but with rest api , the creating of the media works, but in order to add the relation of this, payload on there docs say it should be on the form of the first image, but when I do body: JSON.stringify({

  
  

  fotos: {

  
  

  relationTo: "media",

  
  

  value: idMedia,

  
  

  },

  
  

  }), It says there is an issue with fotos, but when I try to update title or other fields that are not of type relationship, it do uploads correctly, also the value idMedia is correct, I validated through console.log, What am I doing wrong? Thanks 😉

  So everything in the body gets updated with the exception of the relation data?

  
  
  

  clarifying questions:

  
  
  

  1. Is

  fotos

  a has many relationship to media? or has one?

  
  

  2. can you share what your

  fotos

  field looks like?

  
  
  

  If you aren't in a place to answer that now, my suggestion is to review these 2 areas:

  
  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/relationship#has-many
  
  

  # in this example you would gather your ids and send in an array of IDs.
  # note: assuming you want this because of the word fotos (plural)
  
  // field relation data
  {
    name: 'fotos', // required
    type: 'relationship', // required
    relationTo: 'media', // required
    hasMany: true,
  }
  // body data
  {
    "owners": [
      "6031ac9e1289176380734024",
      "602c3c327b811235943ee12b"
    ]
  }

  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/relationship#has-one-polymorphic
  
  

  # in this example (has one - polymorphic) you must configure the field as documented
  {
    ...
    name: 'fotos', // required
    type: 'relationship', // required
    relationTo: ['media', 'something else?'], // required
    ...
  }

  
  

  I'm just not sure which you are trying to do?
