I'm using self hosted AppWrite v1.7.x. I've created a simple database collection which just so happens to have an attribute named "collection" defined as a String (max chars 100). When I create new documents and apply a value to this attribute all is fine, but when I view the list of documents via the console they are all "undefined". However if I click through onto the document itself, the value I wrote is stored. I've since renamed the attribute to "file_collection" and the list view of the collection works fine, so just thought I'd mention it. Is there a list of reserved attribute names (other than the ones with a $ prefix) defined anywhere?

TL;DR
Issue with reserved attribute named 'collection' in database documents on self-hosted AppWrite v1.7.x. Documents show "undefined" in list view but display correctly individually. Renaming attribute to 'file_collection' resolved the display issue. No known list of reserved attribute names specified.
