First, thank you so much for your work.

My user object have avatar object

USER:Object
  articles:Array[5]
  **avatar:Object**
  blocked:null
  confirmed:true
  created_at:"2021-03-02T14:12:27.000Z"
  email:"remaps@desync.ru"
  fav_game:""
  id:1
  provider:"local"
  role:Object
  updated_at:"2021-03-07T08:45:21.000Z"
  username:"remapS"

But there is no such field in the comments

1:Object
  authorAvatar:null
  authorEmail:null
  authorId:null
  authorName:null
  authorType:null
  authorUser:Object
    blocked:null
    confirmed:true
    created_at:"2021-03-02T14:12:27.000Z"

@NooBiToo that seem as a case of author field population. By default we're populating just the user as other nested fields are custom and depends on you own implementation. We're considering a possibility to define the populate array in the configuration or cover the profile field by default.

@NooBiToo I'm having the same challenge. Could you share your solution? 🙂

How did you solve it?

[Tragio]

@cyp3rius I'm also to start working on this. Could you advise what would be the best way to extend the get comments endpoint? 🤔

[cyp3rius]

@Nisthar I've responded in #80

Please open the new issue / discussion related with Strapi v4 version for clarify and visibility. Do not follow closed issues, rather use them as reference.

@Tragio @Nisthar Hello, I can't remember the exact solution, but I can attach my file to you

'use strict';

const { first, isEmpty, isNil } = require('lodash');
const { sanitizeEntity } = require('strapi-utils');
const PluginError = require('./utils/error');
const { isEqualEntity, extractMeta, buildNestedStructure, checkBadWords, filterOurResolvedReports, convertContentTypeNameToSlug, isValidUserContext, resolveUserContextError } = require('./utils/functions');

/**
 * comments.js service
 *
 * @description: A set of functions similar to controller's actions to avoid code duplication.
 */

module.exports = {
    // Find comments in the flat structure
    async findAllFlat(relation, query) {
        const { pluginName, model } = extractMeta(strapi.plugins);
        let baseCriteria = {};
        if (relation) {
            baseCriteria = {
                ...baseCriteria,
                relatedSlug: relation,
            };
        }

        let criteria = {
            ...baseCriteria,
            threadOf_null: true,
        };
        if (query) {
            criteria = {
                ...criteria,
                ...query,
            };
        }

        const entitiesRoot = query && query._q ? 
            await strapi.query( model.modelName, pluginName)
                .search(criteria, ['authorUser', 'authorUser.avatar', 'related', 'reports']) :
            await strapi.query( model.modelName, pluginName)
                .find(criteria, ['authorUser', 'authorUser.avatar', 'related', 'reports']);
        const entitiesNested = await strapi.query( model.modelName, pluginName)
                .find({
                    ...baseCriteria,
                    threadOf_null: false, 
                }, ['authorUser', 'authorUser.avatar', 'related', 'reports']);
        return [...entitiesRoot, ...entitiesNested].map(_ => filterOurResolvedReports(this.sanitizeCommentEntity(_)));
    },

    // Find comments and create relations tree structure
    async findAllInHierarchy (relation, query, startingFromId = null, dropBlockedThreads = false) {
        const entities = await this.findAllFlat(relation, query);
        return buildNestedStructure(entities, startingFromId, 'threadOf', dropBlockedThreads);
    },

    sanitizeCommentEntity: (entity) => ({
        ...entity,
        authorUser: sanitizeEntity(entity.authorUser, { model: strapi.plugins['users-permissions'].models.user }),
    }),
};

@NooBiToo where do you place this file?

I can't seems to find that function in the original file. are you using v3 of the plugin by any chance?
