Spring Data Neo4j Relationships not working correctly

Question

I am fairly new to neo4j coming from a relational data background. I'm having issues creating a spring service to interact with my neo4j database.

In my database I have a node 'type' / label called Row which has a hierarchical parent child relationship to another Row node

I defined my relationship like the following:

MATCH 
    (parent:Row),
    (child:Row)
WHERE
    child.parentUuid = parent.uuid
CREATE (parent)-[:ParentChild]->(child)

In Spring, my Row Entity's relationship is defined as:

@Node
data class Row(
     //fields

     @Relationship(type = "ParentChild", direction = Direction.OUTGOING)
     var children: List<Row> = emptyList(),
) {}

My relationships appear to be working correctly when I run a cypher query directly on my database, but when I run Spring's built in findByFieldTitle it throws an error and says the relationships don't match up.

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
