Hi,

I am migrating to the new nodejs agent from old agent v9.

The target is to customise a collection “matchs” so that it fusion its content with “matchs\_archived”, so the GET /matchs should return the current matchs and the archived ones.

I wonder how to do this using the new agent. In the Doc I see that we can only override the create, update and delete.

Hello @Adel_de_Clevermate,  
Indeed, the override list is not implemented. I’m pushing your needs to the product board.

An alternative, but it’s a little bit of work, is to create [your own datasource](https://docs.forestadmin.com/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/data-sources/custom) with your custom collection. You can follow this very simple [example](https://github.com/ForestAdmin/agent-nodejs/tree/8c171f86bedc5dc9a697477fb5e415e3b5614949/packages/datasource-dummy).

An other alternative, is to create a view in your database to merge your both tables into one, but the view is only supported in read-only mode.

Tell me if you need more help 🙏 ,
