Directus - Unable to query related (One to Many) collection

Related collections are not returned in GraphQL requests for one-to-many relationship.

I have 2 collections blog and comment with the following relationship

blog     1 --> M  comment
comment  M --> 1  blog

The mapping was created using a field blog_id in the comment collection. When I query a blog and try to fetch the related comments, I get an error:

Query:

{
    blog {
        data {
            title
            comment {
                content
            }
        }
    }
}

Error:

"message": "Cannot query field \"content\" on type \"BlogItem\". Did you mean \"comment\"?",
"extensions": {
   "category": "graphql"
}

The reverse works. I mean when I query comments and the related blog, it works perfectly. Any idea why?

Note: This is on a local set up using the docker-compose yaml sample provided on their website, which connects to a mysql database
