When using some deeply nested relationships in Strapi, I found the objects from those relationships where not populated.
I have created a quick video below to explain how I populated them and returned all the data I needed for my response.

<div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0;"><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/97e136a2cacf4d6c842cddd702039f22" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></div>
