  This is because GraphQL doesn't allow dashes

  
  

  
  

  nothing Payload can do there unfortunately. To keep parity, I would avoid using dashes in field names

  
  

  
  

  use camelCase instead

  
  

  
  

  or undrescores, either way

  so just to clarify, is that just for strings that are prefixed with a hyphen? i.e. i just can't start a value with a -

  any hyphen at all, anywhere

  
  

  
  

  doesn't need to be prefixed

  
  

  
  

  my-field

  will be turned into

  my_field

  sorry to clarify this is for the value of a field, not a field name in itself

  like a select field for example?

  
  

  
  

  yep, same thing applies there as well. select values / radio values are

  enum

  s in graphql

  
  

  
  

  and enums can't have dashes either
