Description

Hello,

I'm trying to migrate my blog to nuxt/content 3.3.0 and I'm facing difficulties, using DecapCMS with a custom Unique ID widget, similar to this addon

https://github.com/clean-commit/decap-cms-widget-id

Each of my markdown files has a custom random ID and this ID is also used for relationships between those entities.

However, when nuxt/content reads those markdown files, the IDs in the meta block are getting ignored and replaced with the file path instead, which seems to be the new approach of nuxt/content.

I've originally tried to avoid using file names as any form of identifier, including slug, to avoid breaking relations and backlinks, because it has happened in the past without noticing it.

Is there any way to influence the ID generation of nuxt content or do I have to migrate all relationships manually and stick with using the file path?

Hi @narr07

I'm migrating to the next/content Schema and try to use the path as id, but not sure how to deal with the CMS. I think you can set the id manually using decap, but not a great experience...

I'd use Nuxt Studio but I'm stuck there as well, as monorepos are not supported.

Then I thought about moving my content in a new content repository, and link that to nuxt studio, but nuxt studio requires a Nuxt application in the repo. Thinking about setting up a fake nuxt app within the content repo, or migrating elsewhere. Luckily there are no other people working on the project besides me, so I'm able to work on the markdown files in my editor without a CMS atm.

Hey, This is expected; unlike other fields, id is important for Nuxt Content internal routines. The id consists of [Collection Name]/[File Path in Collection Source].

The only solution for now is to use another field, key, fileId or etc
