Missing "Meta" on Image-Gallery

[aequi42]

Hi,

I'm using a meta field on images inside an gallery:

{
    "fields": {
        "Name": {
            "name": "Name",
            "type": "text",
            "localize": false,
            "options": []
        },
        "Images": {
            "name": "Images",
            "type": "gallery",
            "localize": false,
            "options": {
                "meta": {
                    "title": {
                        "type": "markdown",
                        "label": "Title"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "entries": [
        {
            "Name": "Live",
            "Images": [
                {
                    "meta": {
                        "title": "Vielen Dank an [Max Mustermann](https://foo-bar.com/) für dieses Bild",
                        "asset": "5c27d2256466375024000148"
                    },
                    "path": "/storage/uploads/2018/12/29/5c27d22528c3bsvarta-faran-24.jpg"
                },
                {
                    "meta": {
                        "title": "Vielen Dank an [Max Mustermann](https://foo-bar.com/) für dieses Bild",
                        "asset": "5c27d2246466375024000141"
                    },
                    "path": "/storage/uploads/2018/12/29/5c27d224935c9svarta-faran-21.jpg"
                }
            ],
            "_mby": "5c1fa17d6466377043000010",
            "_by": "5c1fa17d6466377043000010",
            "_modified": 1549904496,
            "_created": 1546113589,
            "_id": "5c27d23564663751760002c4"
        }
    ],
    "total": 1
}

The model is defined as follows:

However, in my Query I get the following error:

error GraphQL Error Unknown field `meta` on type `image_2`

  file: D:/[path-to-file]/index.js

Are you aware of this issue? I'm not complaining about the missing support for markdown inside the meta-element, but about the complete absence of it.

If this is a new issue, I'd be happy to help out, but need a little pointer into the right direction where to begin :)

Hi,

I knew that this feature exist but the implementation currently doesn't support meta attributes; I just never used them since they are too hidden away in the UI to be useful for me.

Adding support for this might not be too difficult. Your best bet is to add a special case handling for "image" and "gallery field to the createCollectionField function and try to model the value of the image node as a set containing meta and image fields. Where the image field is the previous value of the image/gallery field and the meta is a new "set" containing the meta fields & values.

If you are successful and the data looks just like the other sets then everything else (processing of nested fields, image node creation, ...) will just work without further modification.

Hope my explanation makes some sense ;)

Okay, I gave up 😅
I can't get my head around it and will change my cockpit-model to use sets instead of images and galleries with meta.
Sorry for now. Maybe I'll take on the task in the future, but changing the model is currently easier 😁
