Have you tried reproducing the issue with the latest release?

Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue (paste the query/schema if possible)

Introspect dgraph’s generated graphql schema using any introspection query/tool… e.g. I can introspect using graphql's getIntrospectionQuery or the WebStorm GraphQL plugin’s inbuilt introspector - both have the same problem.

The upsert arg as describe here: https://dgraph.io/docs/graphql/mutations/upsert/ is missing in the types resulting from introspection.

This means that intellisense and associated tooling won’t allow the upsert arg in ‘add’ mutations when creating client-side graphql mutations.

Expected behaviour and actual result.

The upsert argument is included in the introspected Mutation type.

Actually - I just noticed that once I switched the type of the id from ID to String! @Id, then the upsert: Boolean arg was added to the add mutation!

Can I ask why there is a difference here?
