In the image you can see the checkbox I check, and when I do, I get this error:

    err: {
      "type": "CastError",
      "message": "Cast to embedded failed for value \"true\" (type boolean) at path \"en\" because of \"ObjectParameterError\"",
      "stack":

I saved and got the error, then reloaded the page and now I can't even open the footer page in the cms using en, I can only open using sv, I get this error:
[20:23:21] ERROR: Cannot create property 'id' on boolean 'false'

Can you share your collection config and Payload version please

ofcourse, here is my footer config:

import type { GlobalConfig } from 'payload'

import { revalidateFooter } from './hooks/revalidateFooter'
import { link } from '@/fields/link'

export const Footer: GlobalConfig = {
  slug: 'footer',
  admin: {
    description: 'Footer är den del längst ner på hemsidan',
  },

  access: {
    read: () => true,
  },
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'logo',
      label: 'Logga',
      type: 'upload',
      relationTo: 'media',
      required: true,
    },
    {
      name: 'navCategory',

I'm not sure where that checkbox is coming from tbh, is it from the link?

stiff dew Jan 4, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

oh I though that was a feature from payload? because I have just started with the blank payload template and added some things

#

someone else seems to be having the same checkbox in another message in discrod:

#

not the same problem though

#

it is not only in the footer, it seems to be everywhere when changing from sv to en

untold drift Jan 4, 2025, 8:14 PM

#

Hmm yeah that's applied by Payload my mistake, not sure what's happening here tbh

#

I'd try to reproduce in a fresh project, and if you're able to do so then create an issue

stiff dew Jan 4, 2025, 11:48 PM

okay thank you 🙂 I have some projects that has to be done for some clients so sadly I don't have the time for that atm, but thank you for your time

stiff dew In the image you can see the checkbox I check, and when I do, I get this error: ...

Got the same error. It seems mongoose expects to set a "object" value to the field, but this checkbox return boolean one.

stiff dew In the image you can see the checkbox I check, and when I do, I get this error: ...

  data.images = data.images === true ? null : data.images;
  return data;
};

I've wrote this beforeChange hook, you should set null instead of true, and it automatically set default locale image to the collection.

lucid marsh ```export const fixDefaultLocale: CollectionBeforeChangeHook = async ({ data }) ...

Where would you put this? I am having a similar problem with "Fallback to default locale" checkbox in my Page collection but I don't understand what is really the correct data I should be submitting here.

I've attached my logging on beforeChange hook and when saving in a different locale would it not be correct to pass in the blocks of the english data instead of false here?

Edit:

      data.blocks = data.blocks === true ? null : data.blocks;
      console.log('data', data)
      return data

I ended putting this in my beforeChange hook copying you and it seems to correctly set the blocks now for my other language. Is this a bug in PL that needs to be fixed?

It must be your default locale checkbox returns false instead of the type of your "blocks" field. False, as I can suggest, means you don't check it and it's not required field. So you need more proper validation of return type of beforeChange hook. Maybe "null" value will fit. And yes, I'm also think it's a bug.
