Unable to bind a relation between post (content/posts) and authors (data/authors)

[samtrion]

In the current setup with Hugo, it is not possible for me to link the collection pages-posts with the data collection data-authors with a relationship. The dropdown is empty.

See configuration

collections:
  # Data `Authors`
  - name: data-authors
    label: "Data/Authors"
    label_singular: "Data/Author"
    folder: "data/authors"
    create: true

If i switch back to Decap CMS it works fine with this configuration

Interesting, I have a bunch of relation fields in client setups. Will have a look shortly.

Maybe this is the case, because data-authors is a hugo data-template. Which is not directly related to the content

[kyoshino]

This was due to a locale mismatch: pages-posts are either en or de while data-authors are not localized (internally having one locale called _default). A fallback is now in place.

I have just shipped v0.12.2 with the fixes for the 3 issues you’ve reported! Please reload the CMS and try again.
