I have updated the collection within my CMS but the API link does not show the changes I have made to the data. I have cleared the server cache but still no updates to the content. I am new to the software so I expect it will be something obvious.
Please provide some more info like Cockpit version, installed addons, SQLite or MongoDB. Otherwise it’s very hard to guess, what your issue might be.
I am using version: 0.11.2
I am running no modifications of plugins, its purely out of the box. I created a collection with a series of text fields and 100 records. Database will be the default one for php.
thanks.

If 1, my only guess would have been the moderation addon.
I noticed that the api is returning data from deleted fields. In the example below, I created a field called DELETE_TEST_DATA, updated it, then deleted the field. I’m curious if there is a way to remove the data once the field is removed. This could be a security issue.
Edit: This also happens if you rename a field. Is there a way to prune the collections to only store the active fields?

"title": {
"name": "title",

Renaming or deleting a field of a collection doesn’t change existing entries and their values get fetched with each api call. There are a few issues (#775 , #843 and #821 ) and a support question about this topic.
I thought about it again and I think I found a solution.
Revisions for collections would be a nice feature, but it would still work without revisions.
Each field just needs a unique id and we need a trigger before the collection is updated here
$this->app->trigger('collections.update…
If not 1 or 2, please provide some steps to reproduce.
