Don't think so
same problem with jwt - user is not authorized, even when all collections have all permissions available to "any"
removed all other fields from collection, only relation is present
tested other relations and only with twoWay relations there is such problem
so i just tested and i was able to create fine with an api key:
$ appwrite --json databases createDocument --databaseId "many-to-one" --collectionId "level1" --documentId "level1" --data '{
"level2": {
"$id": "level2",
"level3": {
"$id": "level3",
"level4": {
"$id": "level4",
"level5": {
"$id": "level5"
}
}
}
}
}'
{
"$id": "level1",
"$permissions": [],
"$createdAt": "2023-07-20T21:50:55.904+00:00",
"$updatedAt": "2023-07-20T21:50:55.904+00:00",
"level2": {
"$id": "level2",
"$createdAt": "2023-07-20T21:50:55.905+00:00",
"$updatedAt": "2023-07-20T21:50:55.905+00:00",
"$permissions": [],
"level3": {
"$id": "level3",
"$createdAt": "2023-07-20T21:50:55.906+00:00",
"$updatedAt": "2023-07-20T21:50:55.906+00:00",
"$permissions": [],
"$databaseId": "many-to-one",
"$collectionId": "level3"
},
"$databaseId": "many-to-one",
"$collectionId": "level2"
},
"$databaseId": "many-to-one",
"$collectionId": "level1"
}
✓ Success
here are my collections:
Let me remove permissions:
and it still works:
$ appwrite --json databases createDocument --databaseId "many-to-one" --collectionId "level1" --documentId "level1" --data '{
"level2": {
"$id": "level2",
"level3": {
"$id": "level3",
"level4": {
"$id": "level4",
"level5": {
"$id": "level5"
}
}
}
}
}'
{
"$id": "level1",
"$permissions": [],
"$createdAt": "2023-07-20T21:54:59.591+00:00",
"$updatedAt": "2023-07-20T21:54:59.591+00:00",

},
"$databaseId": "many-to-one",
"$collectionId": "level2"
},
"$databaseId": "many-to-one",
"$collectionId": "level1"
}
✓ Success
Thanks a lot! Im comparing it to mine and in the meantime I will paste mine:
and insert try:
appwrite --json databases createDocument --databaseId "main_database" --collectionId "content_entry" --documentId "test1" --data '{"name":"test","assignedToCategories":[{"$id":"64b9b41199345ad2a55d"}]}'
✗ Error The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action.
64b9b41199345ad2a55d is already existing object of type category
@Steven maybe problem is that im trying to insert document with relation from the "child" side?
ok, so its possible to create child or parent of the relation but cant reference it
also now getting 500
appwrite --json databases updateDocument --databaseId "main_database" --collectionId "category" --documentId "k1" --data '{"content": ["c1"]}' --verbose

no error while creating, but no relation either:

are you trying to create those nested assignedCategories or link?
link
to link, you should put an array of ids rather than passing an array of objects
Yes! That was it! I was passing array of json objects with id instead of string array of ids
Thank you Steven, you saved the day again
