Does anyone know if the

_key

of an array item is unique across the document type (as opposed to the document)? https://www.sanity.io/docs/array-type#92296c6c45ea

The

_key

only needs to be unique within the array itself, so I imagine that’s the way Sanity implements key assignment, too.

Ah I see, that makes sense, thanks!
