Hey, is it known issue that UI doesn’t support json schemas with $ref? @Artem Astapenko
u
like this
u
it’s not an issue - it was never discussed or planned that it will work with ref
u
well, it is limitation then 🙂 ref is a standard json schema feature
u
there are also backend api endpoints that don’t support
$ref
u
u
we basically need to establish a level of jsonschema support and test that connector specs conform to it
u
In addition to UI support, refs do not propagate to the generated Basic normalization transformations. It’s quite an issue with services that provide deeply nested data structures, especially when the same inner schemas are reused across many upper-level schemas. In this case, the only viable workaround, for now, is code duplication via (automated) ref inlining.
