Describe the Bug

Hi!

In a project where we don't want localization fallback I found an issue with folders.

When trying to move a document which only has content in one locale into a folder, the request will fail due to validation triggering for all locales of that document.

{
"docs": [],
"errors": [
{
"id": "68c94944f81664ad280926c8",
"message": "The following field is invalid: Title"
}
],
"message": "Unable to update 1 out of 1 Page."
}

Steps to reproduce:

  • disable localization fallback in payload.config.ts
  • have a localized field on pages.ts collection
  • Add a new page and only for one locale. Do not add info on all locales.
  • open folder view
  • try to move page into folder
  • observe network tab for error

Possible solution: pass current locale to api call

Reproduction case is available on branch folders-locale-fallback-false of github repo
