second question: How would I have been able to answer my first question myself? I used the search but nobody asked the same. But I should have been able to answer me my first question myself somehow, why it returns all existing employees of the company, instead of only alice’s data. How could I have been able answered me that myself? Which approach, which steps, do I have to take to answer me these questions myself?

In Add Mutations - GraphQL I wasn’t able to find any information about that behavior.

It is a graphql spec:

It returns only Alice at the root level because that is what was mutated, but then it traverses to the employer and then to all the other employees. At the nested edge there is no filter to restrict to only the updated user.
