Hi,
Please I am trying to create a new item in a collection.
The name of the collection is Artist - refer to the code below.
Everything about the code works correctly except when the reference field “gallery” is used why creating the item - refer to the code below.
However, if I do not use the reference field, i.e. if I remove the line “gallery”: galleries , things work fine.
The error message that is received when the referenced field is used contains [“Field “gallery”: Field not described in schema”] - which is also shown in the snapshot attached to this post.
Please what can I do to fix this problem?
I need to be able to insert into a reference field while creating a new item in a collection.
I hope it is not that Webflow does not allow writing into a reference field through the API?
Your response/help will be appreciated.
Regards

ret = { “success”: json.loads(data.decode(“utf-8”).replace(“'”, “"”))}
else:

except Exception as e:
