Trouble constructing a groq query to expand a nested reference to a 'work' document.

I'm having trouble constructing a groq query to expand a nested reference to a 'work' document. I have and array of flexible objects on the 'home' document named 'pageSections', one of which is a 'workGallery' that includes an array of 'works' each of which reference a 'work' document.

*[_type== "home"] {

pageSections[] {

...,

testimonial->,

works[] {

...,

work->

},

}

}

I have another section named singleTestimonial that references a 'testimonial' document which I can expand. But it doesn't work with the 'work' one. I'm at a bit of a loss.

This is what I get if I just query the pageSections in the vision playground:

It looks like the

works[]

array holds just the reference? if that’s the case, this may work,

Hey you legend! That worked perfectly. I think I had in my head I was expanding the reference within rather than the whole array. Thanks so much for the help!

no problem! glad it worked for you 🙂
