What does your current script for writing to your Content Lake look like?

A simple post 
request


        body: JSON.stringify({
          mutations: [
            {
              create: {
                _type: 'programs',
                title: title,
                description: description,
              },
            },
          ],
        })
If that what you mean with Script?

Yep! It looks like you're missing an 
_id
field. You can use a package like 
uuid
to generate a random id here. As long as you don't prefix the id with 
drafts.
it'll show up as a published document in your dataset.

Any 
_id
that is prefixed with 
drafts.
in your Studio will be a draft, not a published document. More on that here .
