Error when trying to publish a document of a "settings" schema in Sanity.io.

I'm getting an error when trying to publish a document of a "settings" schema (singleton):

The schema is similar to the ones in the
official templates . Why can't I publish the document? Have I changed something along the way that caused this?

Interesting. This doesn’t seem easy to replicate. I can only do it by creating a draft via the CLI with an

_id

that matches an existing document (e.g.,

drafts.settings

, assuming

settings

exists) and with a different

_type

than the published version. Do you know the steps you took to lead up to this point?

Unfortunately, no. Maybe some dev changed something in the schema at some point and saved, but I can't make anything out of it. Should I re-create the schema from scratch?

Changing the schema name didn't help

Is the document’s

_id

literally ‘settings’?

Yes?

Perfect. What do you get in Vision when you query:

_type: siteSettings

is me trying to rename it to see if it works

Which one matches your schema?

settings 🙂

Perfect. I would run this command in your terminal (from within the Studio directory) to nuke the draft.

The error was coming from trying to mutate the published document with a different

_type

, which the Content Lake doesn’t permit.

Ok, now to some CLI config issues hehe but I see your point. This should fix it!

It worked, thank you so much!

Great! You’re welcome!
