Hi! when I try to update a document in the Appwrite Console, I get the following error: Invalid document structure: Attribute "$sequence" has invalid type. Value must be a valid string and no longer than 255 chars.

It doesn't matter in which collection I do that and it also does not matter if it's an "old" or a newly created document. I am using Appwrite Cloud.

TL;DR
Error message: Updating a document in Appwrite Console gives 'Attribute $sequence has invalid type' error. Developers are experiencing this error in various collections and with both old and new documents. Solution: Ensure the $sequence attribute is a valid string under 255 characters.

In my dev environment I recreated the entire collection and I am still getting the error...
