Custom properties field is empty in collection from collections dictionary

[tuviks]

Could you help me? I don't know what to do. I have added property "DisplayName" for Category, filled this for Drones category, restarted IIS and site (from settings) and I have no any custom property for this collection on the home page (I have added line "{{ collections | json }}")

Version info:

• Browser version: Google Chrome 81.0.4044.138
• Platform version: 2.13.62
• Module version: 2.23.34

Expected behavior

Properties field is not empty for collection item on home page

Actual behavior

Properties filed is always empty

Steps to reproduce

1. Add Property for Category named "DisplayName"
2. Fill DisplayName for one of category
3. Add {{ collections | json }} to the top of index.liquid
4. Load home page, find category with filled DisplayName property, find Properties field

@lnetrebskii Thank you! Could you say when you plan to fix this and how could I track this to update my platform and package versions?

Hi @tuviks
Maybe the problem is that categories are loaded without properties by default.
If there is the case, you could set ResponseGroup to e.g. Info, WithPropertiesmanually using the liquid paginate filter.
This link could be useful for setting responseGroup in the liquid template:

The part you are interested in is here:

{{ paginator =  collection.products | paginate number_of_products_to_fetch '{ "ResponseGroup" : "Default, ItemProperties" }' }}
