Describe the Bug
When using select: true in Payload CMS GraphQL queries while using MongoDB, block fields return null and cause a 500 error. This affects ALL blocks, regardless of their content.
Error:
Cannot return null for non-nullable field Content.text.
Without select: true |
With select: true |

content {
... on Content {

}
}
}
}
}Result: 500 error, content: null
