Get upload's full data in upload field's cellData prop

[qbeauperin]

Right now, the cellData prop of the Cell of an Upload field only returns the doc id.

Thoughts on adding some depth to whatever the query that's getting that data is in order to get the full upload's data?

Use case example: displaying the thumbnail of a post in the list view.

Hey @qbeauperin,
Cell data for upload and relationship is fetched via the RelationshipProvider. That component is hard-coded to depth: 0 for performance reasons and I don't know that changing it would be the best way here.

What I would do instead is add an additional field for the thumbnail on post that is set from an afterChange hook on the posts collection. That way you would have the thumbnail without needing to populate more from the database.

What do you think about that approach?

Ah I see, that's fair! 👍

As a general solve for this post's specific question, I think this could definitely work!

Although for the "thumbnail display in list view" use case, I'm assuming that there's probably quite a few people that would expect this to be a default behavior of the upload field's cell component, and having to do this whole setup for every upload field you have might not be the best DX. 🤔

I've already made a feature request for this specific use case though - #2393 - so I think this one can be closed!
