Creating a Field for an Image or String - Error: Invalid item type: "[object Object]"

Last updated: Jun 27, 2022
im trying to build a field that would either be an image OR just a string (for css style properties)but i get this error:

Error: Invalid item type: "[object Object]". Default array input can only contain objects (for now)
Check the browser's console for details.
so what's the best way to allow an image or string for a field

I do this for picking a video -- no video, Vimeo or YouTube. They are just address fields instead of doing anything "fancy" like using the plugins and it lets me pivot really easily in the GROQ query

It sounds like you’re encountering the second limitation on arrays . The solutions above should work, as would using an object containing a string (rather than only a primitive string).
