JSON RTE embeded entries

I’m working on a small side project, testing out the capabilities of the new JSON RTE field type in ContentStack by integrating it with a frontend UI like ChakraUI.  I’ve been able to get the basic formatting of default things like paragraphs, tables, lists and such, but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to get the data for an embedded entry.  This is using Next.Js, so I’m using the ContentStack node.js packageTo give a small example, I have an entry type called Call To Action, which is just a model that holds a link, maybe an image, and gives a few other options for what the link can do.  I can choose to embed it into the JSON RTE, but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to get the data for it.  I’m already getting the data for the rich text with the .includeReferences() method, but I can’t figure out the fields that I need to get all of the data for those other entries.I’ve attempted to use ‘rich_text.json_rte’, as those are the field names, but I’m not sure what the other

How can I see where an asset is being used?

We are attempting to clean up and reorganize our assets in our Contentstack CMS, the problem is we haven’t found a way to see where each asset is being used. We have duplicate assets, how do we know where each one is being used so that we can consolidate?Is there an asset relationship feature in Contentstack to find out what entries reference a specific asset?

Using the AI Assistant: Use Case Guidance Needed!

Hi all, I would like to build out a custom prompt for the AI assistant to pull in data from elsewhere on the entry. For example - an entry that is for a hotel that has no descriptions. It would be great to use the AI Assistant to perform a task of writing a 250 word description. The problem is, it needs the context of the hotel’s name in order to accurately write the response. Does anyone have any suggestions for how you can integrate other fields of data to the prompt so that it uses it as part of the response. I’m getting a lot of ‘Welcome to undefined’ at the moment. Alternatively, if you have other suggestions for how you can use the custom prompts to assist with Marketing users to generate content that would be great!

Using Automation & Workflows together: 'Date Expired' Use Case

Hi all, I have a use case whereby a date band is used in a content type. When the date is expired, it often requires a manual process to check and update and can often lead to incorrect content on the website. Can anyone suggest the best way to get notified when a date expires for a content entry? I am unsure if CS Automation is able to accommodate for this as the ‘trigger’ of the date expiring is not based on the entry itself being modified. In an ideal world, when a date expires this then triggers an automatic change of workflow status and the status would then be funneled through to a CS content manager who can update the content. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Live preview with NextJS SSR

https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/set-up-live-preview/set-up-live-preview-with-rest-for-server-side-renderingI completed all the steps listed in this document to setup live preview for our site. When debugging, I see that the live preview hash and content_type_uid are received by the NextJS server. They are then passed by me to the Stack.livePreviewQuery. Now when I try to test live preview, the website is loaded successfully and I get the following message: You are currently previewing a different webpage. To go back, open the webpage that corresponds to the current entry.When I make changes to the entry, the website in the preview pane reloads (I see it blinking a bit + the server logs indicate that new requests are made each time I make draft changes to the entity), but it never gets into the “draft” mode. The thing is that while all these live preview configuration steps seem to be simple, I lack understanding of how exactly live preview works, so I don’t have any idea o

Can I create a field that's read-only for users in the UI?

I’m thinking about how I might clear the cache for a specific page on my CDN when an entry is changed. One idea is to update entries with the url of any page they are added to via a webhook that triggers when pages are updated.    For this, I’d want a field where I can add the url via API, but not via UI. I’ve seen documentation about metadata, but it seems metadata needs to be associated with an extension for some reason. I also don’t see a way of creating or reading metadata using the javascript sdk.   Can I create this kind of read only field? And if not, do you have any suggestions for how I might otherwise determine when to clear a cached page on my CDN?

Unable to edit lengthy HTML

Hello,We are currently experiencing challenges with HTML when it becomes lengthy within our Rich Text Editor (RTE). We are currently only able to anchor our cursors part-way down the code. More specifically, we are unable to highlight HTML code towards the bottom of the editor as it places the cursor much closer to the top, jumping us up the block of code. This has rendered the bottom part of our HTML code uneditable.This appears to be happening on every browser.We would greatly appreciate any assistance or insight into this problem.Thank you,Luke

Proper use of AND Operator, respectively NOT

Hello everyone,I have again a GraphQL related question. We do have a news-type that may be of different kinds (e.g. Topnachrichten which is “Top News” in English) and those may be tagged. One of those tags is “test”.So we played around with the combination of those values and found interesting behavior of the GraphQL API.query NewsTypeCounts { all_news: all_newspage { total } count_top_news: all_newspage( where: {news_types: {select_news_type: "Topnachrichten"}} ) { total } count_not_top_news: all_newspage( where: {news_types: {select_news_type_ne: "Topnachrichten"}} ) { total } news_not_tagged_with_test: all_newspage( where: {tags_nin: "test"} ) { total } news_tagged_with_test: all_newspage( where: {tags_in: "test"} ) { total } with_and: all_newspage( where: {AND: {tags_nin: "test", news_types: {select_news_type: "Topnachrichten"}}} ) { total }}The results are as follows{ "data": { "all_news": { "total": 372 }, "count_to
