Product documents are not appearing in Admin Trash view when trash: true is enabled

Describe the Bug

Product documents are not appearing in Admin Trash view when trash: true is enabled

Describe the Bug

When trash: true is enabled on the Products collection, deleting a Product from the Payload Admin Panel appears to complete successfully, but the deleted Product does not appear in the collection's Trash view.

The Admin Panel shows:

No Products in trash

Environment

• Payload CMS: 3.88.0
• Database: MongoDB
• Next.js: 16.3.3
• Collection: products

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable trash: true on the Products collection.
2. Create a Product.
3. Open the Product in the Payload Admin Panel.
4. Delete the Product.
5. Open the Products collection's Trash view.

Expected Behavior

The deleted Product should be soft-deleted and appear in:

/collections/products/trash

The Product should have a deletedAt timestamp and should be available for:

• Restore
• Permanent Delete

Actual Behavior

The Product disappears from the normal Products list, but the Trash view shows:

No Products in trash

Additional Investigation

A trashed Product can be checked with:

const result = await payload.find({
  collection: 'products',
  trash: true,
  where: {
    deletedAt: {
      exists: true,
    },
  },
})

console.log(result.docs)

If the deleted Product appears in this query but not in the Admin Trash view, the issue appears to be related to the Admin Trash UI/query.

If the Product does not appear here either, the soft-delete operation may not be setting deletedAt correctly.

Reproduce the issue with the ecommerch app and inspect the Products Admin Trash view at /collections/products/trash. First run the payload.find query with trash: true and deletedAt to determine whether the document is soft-deleted or only missing from the UI. Done means deleted Products appear in Trash with restore and permanent-delete actions.
