  When the data.isPublic equal to true then in the data.posts select all fields, otherwise select only the title (post can be object or array)
  

• Select field in inner object or array base of query on the data - using sift (read sift docs to see the options)
  [{path: 'post', when: {isPublic: true}, then: ['*'], otherwise: ['title']}]
