Localization without defaults

Support
1

I’m evaluating Cockpit as a technology option for a project within my company, so please bear with me as I am very new to this CMS.

I require localization for all of my collections, but it is imperative that each language have only the localized fields returned in a query.

For example, I have the following collection:
test:

{
  "fields": {
    "field1": {
      "name": "field1",
      "type": "text",
      "localize": true,
      "options": []
    },
    "field2": {
      "name": "field2",
      "type": "text",
      "localize": true,
      "options": []
    }
  },
  "entries": [
    {
      "field1": "field1",
      "field1_ar": null,
      "field1_cz": null,
      "field1_de": null,
      "field1_es": null,
      "field1_fr": null,
      "field1_it": null,
      "field1_ko": null,
      "field1_pt": null,
      "field1_pt_pt": null,
      "field1_rs": null,
      "field1_ru": null,
      "field1_zh": null,
      "field2": "field2",
      "field2_ar": null,
      "field2_cz": null,
      "field2_de": null,
      "field2_es": null,
      "field2_fr": null,
      "field2_it": null,
      "field2_ko": null,
      "field2_pt": null,
      "field2_pt_pt": null,
      "field2_rs": null,
      "field2_ru": null,
      "field2_zh": null,
      "_mby": "61a67210deabe10dfc011971",
      "_by": "61a67210deabe10dfc011971",
      "_modified": 1638318657,
      "_created": 1638318657,
      "_id": "61a6c24181223962be33f4a1"
    }
  ],
  "total": 1
}

When I call http://localhost:8081/api/collections/get/test?lang=en I get the following, which is as intended (I’ve aliased the default lang as ‘en’):

{
  "fields": {},
  "entries": [
    {
      "field1": "field1",
      "field2": "field2",
      "_mby": "61a67210deabe10dfc011971",
      "_by": "61a67210deabe10dfc011971",
      "_modified": 1638318657,
      "_created": 1638318657,
      "_id": "61a6c24181223962be33f4a1"
    }
  ],
  "total": 1
}

But when I call http://localhost:8081/api/collections/get/test?lang=cz I get the exact same response, when I want:

{
  "fields": {},
  "entries": [
    {
      "field1": null,
      "field2": null,
      "_mby": "61a67210deabe10dfc011971",
      "_by": "61a67210deabe10dfc011971",
      "_modified": 1638318657,
      "_created": 1638318657,
      "_id": "61a6c24181223962be33f4a1"
    }
  ],
  "total": 1
}

I assume that if I do not fill in the default language and create an English localization I will achieve the results I am looking for, as long as I leave the defaults as null. Unfortunately, I am dealing with a user base I am unable to train, and our system relies on these null values.

Is there a way to prevent this behaviour? Alternatively, is there a way to disable the “Default” language for my GUI users?

Thank you,

Nick
