Hi, you can only specify the fields for the model that you are callng
the "find" method on in the 'fields' attribute in the parameter list
passed to the method call.
You need to specify the fields you want returned in the dataset
controlled by the containable behaviour in the 'contain' variable
itself.
e.g in your parameter array to the find call you would do
'contain' => array('Collection' => array('fields' => array
('Collection.name', 'collection.group_id',)), 'Group' => array
('fields' => array('Group.name'))
also make sure all your model relationships are setup and also the
actsAs variable in the Product model has 'Containable' set.
