TLDR Vera asked for guidance on automatically populating a custom field in a Typesense Firestore extension. Jason advised creating a new field from the application when creating the Firestore document and then sync that field into Typesense.

01:10 AMid_search in my Typesense cluster? The only way i can save the id in the extension configuration is byte writing <other fields>, id, <more fields>. but then the extension can’t map that id onto the custom id_search field i have in Typesense, because i know the id field is special and i cant search by it, so it has to be named something different.
