Can't create empty documents?
When I try to create a document without any data, I get this error:
TypeScript
{"message":"The document data is missing. Try again with document data populated","code":400,"type":"document_missing_data","version":"1.7.4"}
I'm confused as to why that is an error anyway.
To clarify: I am passing an empty object ({}) as data, not omitting it
All attributes in this collection have default values.
I assume a workaround would be to just set one attribute (and I'll try that in a moment).
I just find this to be annoying, and a useless error message. Would make more sense if I omitted the data completely.
Is there something else I'm doing wrong?
TL;DR
Issue: Getting an error (document_missing_data) when trying to create an empty document even when passing an empty object as data. Find the error message unnecessary since all attributes have default values.
Try setting at least one attribute with a non-default value as a workaround.
