[Question] - Why can't I use Populate=* and nested ?

[nattapong-atk]

// ./config/plugins.js`
export default {
  menus: {
    config: {
      maxDepth: 3
    }
  },
  'snippets': {
    config: {
      contentTypes: {
        allow: [ 'plugin::menus.menu', 'plugin::menus.menu-item' ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Hi @nattapong-atk Do you have the public role permissions set for MenuItem? That is one thing that might prevent the items prop from appearing in the response data.

It can be found at Settings > Users and Permissions Plugin > Roles.

Adding for reference, in my case it was the above plus checking the same were config'd properly under:

Settings > API Tokens

Then clicking on whatever content token you may have set up (ex. Public API Token Content)
