08:56 PMTypesense::Error::RequestMalformed (Type of field `exmaple` is invalid.)I believe that this is because it's an array of arrays but as we are not asking for this to be indexed or faceted, I thought it wouldn't be a problem. We also have an issue with an array of objects... I'm guessing this is the same problem.
Are these data types not accepted at all, or do you think there's an issue with the schema?
