— Errors trying to implement a singleton.I'm following this:
https://www.sanity.io/docs/set-up-structure-builder-to-override-the-default-list-view and have this as my 
sanity.config.ts

import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {deskTool} from 'sanity/desk'
import {StructureBuilder} from 'sanity/desk'

const myStructure = (S: StructureBuilder) =>
  S.list()
    .title('Base')
    .items([
      S.listItem()
        .title('Site Settings')
        .child(S.document().schemaType('siteSettings').documentId('siteSettings')),
      ...S.documentTypeListItems(),
    ])

const mySchemaTypes = [
  {
    name: 'siteSettings',
    title: 'Site Settings',
    type: 'document',
    fields: [
      {
        name: 'title',
        title: 'Site Title',
        type: 'string',
      },
      {
        name: 'description',
        title: 'Site Description',
        type: 'text',
      },
    ],
  },
  {
    name: 'posts',
    type: 'document',
    title: 'Posts',
    fields: [
      {name: 'title', type: 'string', title: 'Title'},
      {name: 'slug', type: 'slug', title: 'Slug'},
      {name: 'content', type: 'array', title: 'Content', of: [{type: 'block'}]},
    ],
  },
]

export default defineConfig({
  name: 'default',
  title: 'sanity-11ty',

  projectId: import.meta.env.SANITY_STUDIO_PROJECT_ID,
  dataset: import.meta.env.SANITY_STUDIO_DATASET,

  plugins: [
    deskTool({
      structure: myStructure,
    }),
  ],

  schema: {
    types: mySchemaTypes,
  },
})
But get an error: 
List items with same ID found (siteSettings)
What am I doing wrong?

You need to filter the 
documentTypeListItems()
to remove the siteSettings document from appearing twice.

...S.documentTypeListItems().filter(listItem => !['siteSettings'].includes(listItem.getId()))

Thanks

I saw that.However using that results in a different error: 
Invalid link. Your link must contain a type.

I’ve used your schema and got it working on my end which is strange.

Have you tried restarting the dev server?
Dec 20, 2022, 4:54 PM
Or refresh the page.
Dec 20, 2022, 4:54 PM
Tried both.

So I nuked the Sanity project. Upgraded everything. Created a new project from scratch and used the same Schema and the problem has gone away. No idea what happened. Thanks for your help though.

That’s really odd. Well, glad it’s working now! 😆

the way I solved this same issue is simply by going back to the http://localhost:3333
