Data from referenced content type is separated

[jckfa]

Hi, I don't know if this is a mapping issue (I've never done any custom mapping before) but here's where I'm at:

I have a Article content type that references an Author content type (allowing multiple authors).
When I import the data, this is what I get:

---
article:
- sys:
    id: ...
  title: ...
  author:
  - sys:
      id: ...
  - sys:
      id: ...
  body: ...

author:
- sys:
    id: ...
  name: ...
  dob: ...
- sys:
    id: ...
  name: ...
  dob: ...

The author fields "name" and "dob" are not inside article.

I need the data to format like this:

---
article:
- sys:
    id: ...
  title: ...
  author:
  - sys:
      id: ...
    name: ...
    dob: ...
  - sys:
      id: ...
    name: ...
    dob: ...
  body: ...

That way, I can fetch the data of each author within a particular article.

Hey @jckfa,

Have you added include: N to your CDA query parameter? (N being a number from 2 to 10)

If you have done that and are still facing this issue, you're encountering a bug that will be soon fixed by this contentful/contentful.rb#99 PR, and will be merged early next week.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

@dlitvakb Ok, awesome, thank you! Yeah, I have include: 10 and the issue still persists.

I actually just figured out how to fetch the article-specific author data by nesting some for loops and comparing the sys ids of the content type entries.

But the bug fix would make my code a lot simpler, haha.

Hey @jckfa,

The fix has been finished, we're reviewing and making sure it will not break anymore.

Merge and deploy will be done between today, and tomorrow. Most likely tomorrow morning.

Cheers
