Nested Schemas throw an error when calling getObjectSchema ("the parent SimpleSchema instance also tries to define ...")

[MaxTwentythree]

Hi,

I have nested schemas:

const simplSchema = new SimpleSchema({
  id: {type: String},
  type: {type: String},
  formField: {type: formFieldSchema},
  orderKey: {type: Number, optional: true},
});

const formFieldSchema = new SimpleSchema({
  id: {type: String},
  type: {type: String},
  label: {type: String, optional: true},
  placeholder: {type: String, optional: true},
  ...
  options: {type: formFieldOptionsSchema, optional: true},
});

const formFieldOptionsSchema = new SimpleSchema({
  textStyle: {type: textOptionsSchema, optional: true},
  button: {type: buttonOptionsSchema, optional: true},
  number: {type: numberOptionsSchema, optional: true},
  select: {type: selectOptionsSchema, optional: true},
});

etc.

When calling getObjectSchema('formField') on the upper schema, I receive this error:

Error: The type for "options" is set to a SimpleSchema instance that defines "options.textStyle", but the parent SimpleSchema instance also tries to define "options.textStyle"

What is this error, why is it thrown (it seems not correct) and how can I fix that? Am I doing sth wrong?

If this is a bug report, please be sure to include, at minimum, example code showing a small schema and any necessary calls with all their arguments, which will reproduce the issue. Even better, you can link to a saved online code editor example, where anyone can immediately run the code and see the issue.

If you are requesting a feature, include a code example of how you imagine it working if it were implemented.
