Also how would I make curriculumPost a singleton
May 13, 2020, 4:32 PM
I changed it to a singleton with
 S.listItem()
        .title("Curriculum Content")
        .child(
          S.document().schemaType("curriculumPost").documentId("curriculumPost")
        ),
and added this below

...S.documentTypeListItems().filter(
        (listItem) =>
          ![
            "curriculumPost",
            "slideDeck",
            "twentyEighteenKtPost",
            "twentyEighteenKmPost",
            "twentyTenPost",
            "twentyElevenPost",
            "twentyTwelvePost",
            "twentyThirteenPost",
            "twentyFourteenPost",
            "twentyFifteenPost",
            "twentySixteenPost",
            "twentySeventeenKtPost",
            "twentySeventeenKmPost",
            "twentyNineteenKmPost",
            "twentyNineteenKtPost",
            "twentyTwentyKmPost",
            "twentyTwentyKtPost",
          ].includes(listItem.getId())
      ),
but now the content from curriculum post is empty, it's like the filter is also taking away the content.

Hi Anders, for the singleton, assuming you would like to open it directly in an editor/form view, have you tried something like this?
S.listItem()
  .title('Curriculum Content')
  .child(
    S.editor()
      .title('Curriculum Content')
      .schemaType('curriculumPost')
      .documentId('curriculumPost')
  ),
Also, have you confirmed that the singleton document itself actually has a document 
_id
of 
curriculumPost
? And not some random string?

I got it working, I think sanity was having a bug with having two posts in the singleton, I delete both of them just created one and then it acted as needed. I will also try your suggestion to see how that looks thanks
