Describe the Bug

Payload 2.26, mongodb

I am no longer able to add collections and globals, or change existing collections and globals. I can't add or change fields, I can't create entire new collections. The app runs without errors, but the database is not updated when I restart payload or when I save changes in the admin UI.

Local development mode works fine, but it happens only in remote production build.

Has anyone had this problem? Desperate for help here...

To Reproduce

Create a new collection, add it to payload config; collection is not actually created in the database and does not show up in admin UI.
Create a new global, add it to payload config; global is not added in the database on save, and does not show up in admin UI.

Payload Version

2.26

Adapters and Plugins

@payloadcms/db-mongodb@1.4.3

Are you use you've deployed the code with the changes? I assume that the code you're trying to deploy is not making it to your production environment. If you share more information about your CI/CD or deployoment process we can help diagnose and troubleshoot.
