03:49 PMAt some point this schema was valid and working:
[
{'name': 'fname', type: 'string'},
{ 'name' : 'user', type: 'auto' }
]
but now if I try to create a new collection it says "Cannot use type
auto for user. It can be used only for a field name containing .*" "So has this been changed and 'auto' can no longer be set if the name is not '.*' ?
