Field selection dependency

[JakeSmokie]

Is there a way to add a dependency for some field?
This example returns null if descriptionLocaleId is not selected in gql query.

descriptor.Field("description").Resolver(ctx => ctx.Parent<Item>().DescriptionLocaleId);

I am using EF Core 5, Hot Chocolate v11 with UseProjectionAttribute

Desired functionality:

descriptor.Field("description").DependsOn(x => x.DescriptionLocaleId).Resolver(ctx => ctx.Parent<Item>().DescriptionLocaleId);

@JakeSmokie
We plan to add resolver metadata to do exactly that

For now you can use the IsProjectedAttribute

[IsProjected(true)]
public string DescriptionLocaleId {get;set;}

or set it via

descriptor.Field(x => x.DescriptionLocaleId).IsProjected(true);

This way this field is always projected and your resolver should work.
Direct resolver dependencies will come in a later release

Any plans when that feature could be added?
