I'm using Payload as a website and webshop CMS. Is there anyway to make use of another identifier instead of the hash generated, e.g. 646ccdc7a8bf800e7f15592d?

I want to create nice looking urls and would prefer one of these:

https://mywebsite.com/products/67/whatever-slug
https://mywebsite.com/products/specific-product-slug

https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/overview#customizable-id has the answer

Payload CMS

Payload is a headless CMS and application framework built with TypeScript, Node.js, React and MongoDB

Although i ran in a problem when i tried myself and wanted to automatically generate a slug based on the title. But I reckon, it was because of either the multilanguage or the hook I tried with

The best thing would be to combine those two articles

@hybrid blaze also having problems with the hook on that field. Perhaps it's blocked by design?
