I'm not sure how this hasn't affected us before, but today we found that we were unable to remove an object with schema field from an item by setting it to null (as works with scalar fields). Instead it throws an error.
I found two places that caused an issue:
collectNested
: tries to collect the properties of the object but throws an error as it's null so has no propertiesconvertNulls
: skips the field if it has a schema, so never removes itI've made this PR to resolve the issue. On my testing it seems to work fine, the unit tests also all pass.
However I'm not sure if this change might have some hidden impact I'm not aware of.
