🦄 Strapi Component’s fields not showing on API response

I have a similar situation with Strapi version 5.

I don’t understand why the Slider does not display the img: {...} and bg: {...} properties, which are being pulled from Cloudinary.

https://localhost:1337/api/home-page?populate[builder][populate]=*

{
  "data": {
    "id": 2,
    "documentId": "xjluksmdonvvblyt17zjfshb",
    "title": "Home",
    "slug": "home",
    "description": null,
    "createdAt": "2025-05-27T14:42:13.627Z",
    "updatedAt": "2025-05-27T14:53:30.766Z",
    "publishedAt": "2025-05-27T14:53:35.058Z",
    "builder": [
      {
        "__component": "builder.slider",
        "id": 2,
        "Slide": [
          {
            "id": 3,
            "title": "100500+ Top Rated Online Reviews.",
            "description": "Looking for the best...",
            "url": "/"
          },
          {
            "id": 4,
            "title": "200500+ Top Rated Online Reviews.",
            "description": "Looking for the best...",
            "url": "/"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "meta": {}
}

I found a solution:

https://localhost:1337/api/home-page?populate[builder][on][builder.slider][populate][Slide][populate]=*

And this:

https://localhost:1337/api/home-page?populate[builder][on][builder.section][populate]=*&populate[builder][on][builder.cards-block][populate][Cards][populate][0]=img&populate[builder][on][builder.slider][populate][Slide][populate]=*
