Jason Hi Jason,
In Firesbase Extension, the doc says to set "Yes" in both cases, is this normal?
Adds a new parameter that controls whether a nested Firestore document is flattened by the extension, or sent as is to Typesense.
If you are running Typesense Server v0.23.1 or below, set "Flatten Nested Documents" to "Yes" (since indexing nested fields is not supported in these versions).
If you are running Typesense Server v0.24 or above, set "Flatten Nested Documents" to "Yes" (since indexing nested fields is natively supported in Typesense in these versions).

Hmm, may I know where you see this?

I did fix the typo in the changelog here: https://github.com/typesense/firestore-typesense-search/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#version-100

Looks like the changelogs in the Firebase UI don't get updated after submitting the version to the extension hub

Got you, at least the tooltip on the textfield to actually pick Yes or No shows the good info šŸ‘

Jason Hi Jason,
I have a problem with my collection schema.
I have a class as below:

Loic
04:09 PM
class Temperatures {
    String brokerId;
    List<PickedProduct> pickedProduct;

    Temperatures({
        required this.brokerId,
        required this.pickedProduct,
    });

}

class PickedProduct {
    String uniqueTicker;
    int brokerRetailPrice;
    String brokerCurrency;
    String brokerDescription;
    bool showOriginalPictures;
    bool showGenericPictureFirst;

    PickedProduct({
        required this.uniqueTicker,
        required this.brokerRetailPrice,
        required this.brokerCurrency,
        required this.brokerDescription,
        required this.showOriginalPictures,
        required this.showGenericPictureFirst,
    });

}

That gives a Json like this:
04:09
Loic
04:09 PM
{
  "brokerId": "abc",
  "pickedProduct": [
        {
            "uniqueTicker" : "abc",
            "brokerRetailPrice" : 100, 
            "brokerCurrency" : "abc",
            "brokerDescription" : "abc",
            "showOriginalPictures" : true,
            "showGenericPictureFirst" : true
        }
    ]
}

How to store the List<pickedProduct> in the collection schema?

I have tried the Object[] but it doesn't seem to be the good solution

object[] would indeed be the way to store that object, since it's an array of objects. Could you elaborate on why it's not a good solution?
