Is it possible to set mongodb options for indexing on the fields, like background: true?

Hey @fringe spoke unfortunately there's no passthru for options like that with Payload. Worth noting it does look like that background: true was deprecated in mongo 4.2. What version of mongo are you running?

[fringe spoke]

That'll do it, we're trying to manage some data on an existing database through payload, its running on 4.4 for reasons beyond my control.

some people have it "easy" building only new projects

the real test is to hand them a 5 year old application and tell them to fix it

there's a bulletproof interview process lol

"tell me everything you know about cpanel"

build me an HTML email template

ok this is giving me PTSD I'll stop haha

[fringe spoke]

I know that reference, lol

Yeah me too, like the last 20 years flashed before my eyes when you mentioned cpanel

[hollow parcel]

ok ok we'll forget this ever happened! haha
