Facing an Issue with fields under populate

[amitkTechno]

I am facing a new issue which is related to mikro-orm/mikro-orm#3012

Here I have 3 tables relationship
1. User entity

@OneToMany(() => Shop, shop => shop.createdBy)
    shop = new Collection<Shop>(this);
@OneToMany(() => Product, product => product.owner)
    product = new Collection<Product>(this);

2. Shop Entity

@OneToMany(() => Product, product => product.shop)
    products = new Collection<Product>(this);
@ManyToOne()
    createdBy!: User;

3. Products Entity

@ManyToOne()
    shop!: Shop;
@ManyToOne()
    owner!: User;

await this.shopRepository.findOne({ id: 1 },{ fields: ['*', 'createdBy.name', 'products.owner.email'], populate: ['createdBy', 'products.owner'] })

Result

"id": 1,
"createdAt": "2023-03-14T06:02:33.000Z",
"updatedAt": "2023-03-14T06:02:33.000Z",
"name": "Shop1",
"description": "Shop1 Description",
"products": [
   {
       "id": 1,
       "shop": 1,
       "owner": {
           "id": 1,
           "name": "User One",
           "email": "userone@yopmail.com"
       }
   },
   {
       "id": 3,
       "shop": 1,
       "owner": {
           "id": 2,
           "email": "usertwo@yopmail.com"
       }
   }
],
"createdBy": {
   "id": 1,
   "name": "User One",
   "email": "userone@yopmail.com"
}

Expected behavior
The result should not contain owner name inside products owner object (which owner id is 1).

Versions

• NodeJs - 16.16.0
• Mikro-orm - 5.5.3

You might have to wait for v6, fixing this will be a bit breaking so won't do that in 5.x release.
