Unable to query nested relational content types

[lucastobrazil]

Love this starter, thank you for providing it! ❤️

I’m having an issue and not sure if it’s my understanding of Strapi/GraphQL or an issue.

Context: For my use case, I want to show a portfolio of projects (or 'cases'). Each case has a group of contributors that worked on it. This field is separate to the author. The issue is that for technical reasons, a Case's contents is split into two types: draft and published. Which means when I want to get all articles, I need to go one level 'deeper' in the nesting to also include the array of contributors.

Case
-- Draft
---- Caseinfo
------ Contributors

-- Published
---- CaseInfo
------ Contributors

Currently I can get allStrapiCase and get the contents of each case, plus its contributors:

// Used in Gatsby's `<StaticQuery />`
// This works fine.

  allStrapiCase {
    edges {
      node {
        contributors {
          name
        }
      }
    }
  }

But when I try to include the nesting

  allStrapiCase(filter: {status: {eq: "published"}}) {
    edges {
      node {
        published_contents {
          id
          title
          // Cannot query field "contributors" on type "StrapiCasePublished_contents".
          contributors {
              name
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

So as soon as the contributors field is nested one level deeper, I cannot query it? Conceptually, can you make a deeply nested GraphQL query like this and expect it to follow all relational content types “down the tree”?

Hi @lucastobrazil , I'm not sure I understand this query:

  allStrapiCase(filter: {status: {eq: "published"}}) {
    edges {
      node {
        published_contents {
          id
          title
          // Cannot query field "contributors" on type "StrapiCasePublished_contents".
          contributors {
              name
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

Since you are filtering by status eq: published I would expect the query to return only cases with field status set to "published", for example:

And if you wanted to query draft cases you could just do filter: {status: {eq: "draft"}}
