I have a singleton, with a linkedCollection field.

Querying for this collection will display all the expected data.

For example:

```auto
     "entries": [
          {
               "label": "Diamond",
               "icon": {
                    "path": "diamond.svg"
               }
          },

```

However, when querying the parent singleton, the image field is missing:

```auto
     "myLinkedCollection" [
          {
               "_id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
               "link": "myLinkedCollection",
               "display": "Diamond"
          }
     ],

```

Also, I can see that I don’t find the same “label” attribute…

Are the linked collections not displayed when the parent is queried?

Add `"populate":1` to your query.
