  I don't think I see this type either. I see others though, like

  showHiddenFields

  yes, I think it was accidentally documented and then never removed

  
  

  
  

  this had overlap with our security CVE

  
  

  
  

  it now just respects

  overrideAccess

  Alright, and overrideAccess is true by default, so it is enabled?

  with the local API, yes,

  overrideAccess

  is true by default

  
  

  
  

  but for GraphQL and REST, it is false

  Can access functions always query all fields? (I think yes because I'm using it like that and noticed a typo since 1.7)

  access functions are allowed to query hidden fields, yes

  
  

  
  

  BUT

  
  

  
  

  the query will still be validated

  Perfect 👍

  
  

  Only issue is that the error message was too vague, I hoped to find a trace to the exact problem in payload config.
