Hi there. May I know if there is any way to add a Ref to a Node (Type) without an ID field? That is, lets say I want to ref to a node based on the value of one of its properties, how would I do this? Also, is it possible to use @hasinverse in this case? Thanks.

[image] tvvignesh: May I know how it would work in this case? It won’t it will actually add a new node with those properties instead of creating the ref. Linking ref nodes only work with xid’s (using @id) or guids (using ID scalar) . I’ve been down this path already. Sorry. Maybe a custom Mut…

As @amaster507 said, not possible.

Yup.

P.S.

attributes: [Attribute] @hasInverse(field: belongsTo) is wrong.

hasInverse needs to be on

belongsTo: Entity! @hasInverse(field: attributes)

If you have a two-way relationship between 2 types, does it matter which node you put the hasInverse index in?
