Hello dipeshnepal ,

To conditionally select only those collection fields that match a certain criteria, you can use the "filter" parameter in the search request to filter the documents based on your criteria, and then use the "select" parameter to specify the fields to return.

In your example, you are filtering the documents based on the Network ID of 5. To return only the Networks collection that match this criteria, you can use the following "select" parameter:


"select": "First-name, Last Name, Networks/Network ID, Networks/Network Name"

This will return only the first name, last name, and Networks collection fields that match the filter criteria, which is Network ID of 5.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind Regards,

Luke Madden.
