Hello team, question regarding the

patch

operation, is there a way to select which fields to return or expand in the output? I’m using the Javascript client BTW:

const sanityResponse = await sanityClient
    .patch(id)
    .set({[fieldName]: fieldValue})
    .commit();

. A patch should return the updated object , which you can then filter, output, or work with.

If one of the fields is a reference… can I have it expanded in the output somehow, or do I have to make another query?

Correct; it would require another query.
