Array of References Showing as Untitled When New References Added

Last updated: Jan 15, 2021
Hello everyone,I was wondering if someone could help me with my problem?
Currently in a schema I defined fields of a custom type "section"(type :'object'). this schema contains an array of references. When I now try to add references, they are shown as untitled. how can i change that?

export default {
    title: 'Versprechen Page',
    name: 'promise',
    type: 'document',
    ...
    fields: [
        {
            name: 'section1',
            type: 'section',
            fieldset: 'sectionGroup0'
        },
        ... ]
}

export default {
    title: 'Abschnitt',
    name: 'section',
    type: 'document',
    fields: [
        ...
        {
            title: 'Content',
            name: 'content',
            type: 'array',
            of: [
                {
                    type: 'reference',
                    to: [
                        {type: 'pictureAndText'},
                        {type: 'titleAndText'},
                        {type: 'collection'},
                        {type: 'link'}
                    ]
                }
            ]
        },
       ...
    ],
}

have you tried adding a preview object? https://www.sanity.io/docs/previews-list-views

preview: {
  select: {
    title: "myFieldToUse"
  },
},

            type: 'array',
            of:[
                {type:'block'}
            ]
        },
        {
            title: 'Custom Type',
            name: 'custom',
            type: 'string'
        },
    ],
    preview: {

        },
        prepare(selection) {
            const {title} = selection
            return {
                title: title,

Jan 14, 2021, 11:34 AM
have you tried adding the preview inside the array?

to: [
  {
    type: 'pictureAndText'
    preview: {
      title: title
    }
  },
]

do the titles inside the title and text documents have a value at all?
Jan 14, 2021, 11:36 AM
(btw you can omit the prepare function if you're not manipulating the title)
Jan 14, 2021, 11:37 AM

Jan 14, 2021, 11:40 AM

Jan 14, 2021, 11:44 AM
I can reproduce it when I publish a document without a title and fill it - and then forget publishing.
