Hmmm, FieldType is defined here: https://github.com/typesense/typesense-js/blob/7bcc5e344e06d1aefaca849677386364b49c99c4/src/Typesense/Collection.ts#L11

Wonder if it’s something to do with an earlier version of Typescript?

Something like this:

import type { FieldType } from 'typesense/lib/Typesense/Collections'

But that should technically not be needed, so I suspect something is off here
