### What version of Dgraph are you using?

20.03

### Have you tried reproducing the issue with the latest release?

Issue is with latest release.

### What is the hardware spec (RAM, OS)?

macOS 8GB

### Steps to reproduce the issue (command/config used to run Dgraph).

1. Create node with “dgraph.type” in JSON:  
`{ "dgraph.type": "Post", "title": "string", ... }`

2. See Ratel schema on `localhost:8000`. Type `Post` is not visible, nor predicate `dgraph.type`.

3. Query the node with `func: type(Post)` or as filter `@filter (type(Post))`. The query happens correctly with Type set.

### Expected behaviour and actual result.

Types set via “dgraph.type”, as per the documentation [https://dgraph.io/docs/query-language/#setting-the-type-of-a-node](https://dgraph.io/docs/query-language/#setting-the-type-of-a-node), should appear in Ratel dashboard as either Type or Predicate.

Types set via JSON do not, however, show up in the Ratel dashboard. Functionally they work as expected and I have not found a problem apart form the dashboard.
