Desk tool crashing when converting schema to Sanity V3, solved by removing empty "media" tag.

Hi there! I'm converting our current V2 Studio to Sanity V3. Everything is working great, except with one specific schema (our post schema) the desk tool is crashing and I have no idea why. The debugging message is not helpful; seems to be something with vite?• it works in our V2 studio, but not in V3
â—¦ Am currently setting up the V3 studio into it's own repo from our monorepo so I'm able to see both.
• Nothing has changed in terms of content, I've copied all of the schema files over and viewing all other content in the studio works great except this one.
• Specific error screenshot in thread.
Edit:
✅ Solved! Solution: Make sure your
media
properties in preview
prepare
functions aren't empty. Used to fly in V2, no longer in V3.
