I'm getting this error when i try to update a document. The collection has a relatipship with 2 other collections. I don't understand why, when i update the document, i am getting this error thrown since i am only updating 3 attribute, not relating to the relationships... and the documentId is defiantly a string.

This is the code updating the document:

TypeScript
    const data = {
      prospect_disc_type: prospectDiscType,
      prospect_report_overview: response.prospect_report_overview,
      prospect_engagement_score: engagementScore?.score,
    };

    const updateProspectResponse = await database.updateDocument(
      appwrite.APPWRITE_DATABASE_ID,
      appwrite.PROSPECT_COLLECTION,
      prospectId,
      data
    );
TL;DR
Error message: Developer encountering issue when updating a document due to an invalid relationship value despite not directly modifying relationships in the code. Solution: Double-check the data being updated and ensure that the prospectId is a valid string before calling the update method.
