Filtering a reference list with dynamic filter in Sanity.io

Hey all! Real quick question for you. I'm trying to filter a reference list with a dynamic filter. This is where I'm currently at but it doesn't seem to do anything right now:
The document that this is being run within has a field
Any ideas, anyone?
filter: ({ document }) => {
const ref = document.content?.product?._ref
if (!ref) return
return {
filter: 'product._ref == $product',
params: {
product: ref,
},
}
},content.productwhich references a
product, and the document type I am trying to filter here should also reference the same
product. You can't use
console.logwithin filter functions, so I have no way to be able to inspect what
documentcontains. I've tried a number of different ways of going about this, including checking for the presence of
document.contentand
document.content.productfirst, but nothing seems to make a difference here.
Any ideas, anyone?

The filter setup seems correct. Could you share your schema definition for the relevant document as well as the
productdocument type?

Technical file schema:
export const TechnicalFile = {
title: 'File',
name: 'technicalFile',
type: 'document',
fields: [
{
title: 'Document Title',

type: 'string',
validation: (Rule) => Rule.required(),

Product is pretty much placeholder right now:
export const Product = {
title: 'Product',
name: 'product',
type: 'document',
fields: [
{
title: 'Product name',
name: 'title',
type: 'string',
validation: (Rule) => Rule.required(),
},
{
title: 'Featured image',
name: 'image',
type: 'image',
fields: [
{
title: 'Alt text',
name: 'alt',
type: 'text',
options: {
isHighlighted: true,
},
},
],
options: {
metadata: ['palette'],
hotspot: true,
},
validation: (Rule) => Rule.required(),
},
],

To be clear, the document selector currently shows all documents of type
technicalFile, rather than filtering them.

Could you try moving your
optionsout of the
to[]array? So one level higher?

As follows:
{
title: 'File',
type: 'reference',
to: { type: 'technicalFile' },
options: {
filter: ({ document }) => {
const ref = document.content?.product?._ref
if (!ref) return {}
return {
filter: 'product._ref == $product',
params: {
product: ref,
},
}
},
},

Yes, that's it. I'm an idiot and didn't see that I had it in the wrong place entirely! Thanks so much

An error would have helped I'm sure - not sure why it worked before 😄

It didn't. That was poor wording on my part. Seeing as Sanity is fully TypeScripted up now, this feels like something that could potentially be fairly easy to catch, as it is a property in a place that it shouldn't be

Yep, agreed. We could definitely improve error messages here and save some hair-pulling 😉
