  not sure if I understand the problem 10=%, but wouldn't exporting the GQL Schemas and importing them in your IDE do that? It should give you autocompletion in your IDE

  autocompletion isn't a huge concern for me atm. but yeah you're right that that should do that for me.

  
  
  

  The issue is that any time I update fields in Payload, I have to go over to the Next.js side and make sure it's sync'd up.

  
  
  

  Ultimately though, it's hard to tell what fields you want to keep and want to exclude in an automated fashion so we prefer to keep that maintenance layer going and to just do what we can to make that a clean process.

  I think the IDE can automatically download / update the gql definitions! There's a fancy plugin for intellijs which does that, for example

  
  

  
  

  I swear to god this was mentioned somewhere in this discord but I cannot find it - it was months ago

  I think I used this plugin for intellij

  
  

  
  

  you can add a remote schema there

  
  

  
  

  and in there you specify the gql endpoint or sth like that

  oh shame on me

  
  

  
  

  I insulted intellij by calling it

  
  

  "Intellijs"
