Hi! How to add a doc via sanity client that has a weak reference? If I do this, it throws an error `key "weak" not allowed in ref`:

const author = {
  _type: 'reference',
  _ref: id,
  weak: true,
};

However, if I remove

weak

, after creating the doc via sanity client the studio tells me "Warning: This reference is strong, but should be weak according to schema."

Try

_weak

instead, with the underscore 🙂 Without it only goes for schemas, not the actual JSON. Sorry about the confusion there.
