…cms#14872) ### What? Optimizes the count of a join field when the goal is just to retrieve the count value (i.e. limit: 0). ### Why? Generates 1 database query instead of two when the goal is just to retrieve the count value. ### How? By using payload.count() instead of payload.find() Co-authored-by: Ricardo Tavares <[email protected]>
