Happy Sunday, everyone!
Does GraphQL support custom fields? I am trying to do a query with the urlTitle field of the Product Collection on the demo and I get an empty response. I get the same result when I try to use the urlTitle custom field from any of our content types.
Am I doing something wrong? I know I can query with the urlMap and then split it on the "/", but it is easier if I do it with the urlTitle field.
Query:
query ContentAPI {
ProductCollection(query: "+urlTitle:*snow*", limit: 10, offset: 0, sortBy: "score") {
title
urlMap
category {
name
inode
}
retailPrice
image {
versionPath
}
}
}
Response:
{
"data": {
"ProductCollection": []
}
}

I haven't used GraphQL with dotcms but I think your query needs to include the structure name with the field.
query: "+ProductCollection.urlTitle:*snow*"
That's how it works in every other method to pull content from dotCMS, so I could only assume the same would apply here. The doc page for GraphQL does a bad job here because it only uses the title field for examples, which is sort of a special case in dotCMS that doesn't need the structure name included.
Hope that helps. As I said, I am not really sure because I've not used the GraphQL stuff at all.

Dear Chris:
As always your transcendental knowledge has brought an insight into everything!
Thank you! Adding the content type/structure name preceded by a "." works on the field name works.
I will send feedback on the documentation so it is updated.
Thank you again,
Alex

Hi, Chris!
I have another question, do you know how to sort based on a nested field? For example, here is a relationship GraphQL query, taken from https://dotcms.com/headless-cms-graphql on the playground area. I want to sort by the title of activities. I have tried many ways, but it has not been successful yet.

query relationshipQuery {

offset: 0,
sortBy: "score"
){
title
activities{

I don't know the GraphQL stuff, but I assume it is just passing on the sort to ElasticSearch, so you should be able to sort the same way as any query, something like:
sortBy: "product.retailPrice product.title"
sortBy: "product.retailPrice product.title"
