Querying parent info in preview mode returns the current post info. about wp-graphql

Surely the previewOf prop suggested by Jason in the linked post #2876 would make more sense to house the info currently returned in the parent prop

Exactly. Please share any feedback you might have on #2876 so we can keep the discussion all in one place 🙏

Hey @jeremyProwseYS ,

What you're describing is intentional behavior (due to how post revisions are stored, like you mentioned), and is documented as such in the description for the asPreview arg (which is sadly not the most discoverable).

You can find the active discussion around this behavior and a workaround in #2876 .

(Closing as duplicate).

@justlevine Thanks for your reply, I had already figured a work-around using the revisionOf prop to traverse the true parent structure for the post. However this is just that, a "workaround" and I was wondering if there were any plans to reintroduce expected behaviour for the parent prop when preview is concerned. Surely the previewOf prop suggested by Jason in the linked post #2876 would make more sense to house the info currently returned in the parent prop? I'm just not sure changing the return value / behaviour of a prop based on a variable, such as preview, makes logical sense.
