Issue

When trying to filter Content Structure ( WebContent > Structures ), and using a wrong syntax, you might get any of the following errors:

Exception while fetching data (/contentStructureStructuredContents) : null

"Internal Server Error",classification": "DataFetchingException"

"contentStructureStructuredContents": null

Environment

Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

You should use the following template for the request:

{
 contentStructureStructuredContents(contentStructureId: <yourContentStructureId>, filter: "contentFields/yourStructureFieldReference eq 'yourWebContentTextEntry'") {
  items {
   id
    contentFields {
     contentFieldValue {
      data
    }
    label
   }
  }
 }
}

You can find and edit the structure's field reference when clicking on the text field and opening the “Advanced” tab.
