  - glad you were able to find the answer! We definitely need to add an example for updating arrays. And you're right, something is amiss with our ID links in the docs. Will put both things on our radar, thanks for flagging 👍

  I have a similar problem, except that it also involves l18n: Say I have a document which contains an array field, each element in the array contains a text field with localize=true. I have created a document with three elements in the array, each with an English string. Now I need to update the document to add Spanish strings to the three array elements. I would like to use the local API do to this. How would this be done?

  
  
  

  Figured it out: When doing the update, the id of nested fields need to be included along with their localized string values. So if I create the document like so:

  
  

      await payload.create({
          collection: 'questions',
          data: {
              id: 'q1',
              questionText: 'The question in English',
              answers: [
                  { id: 'a1', answerText: 'First answer in English' },
                  { id: 'a2', answerText: 'Second answer in English' },
                  { id: 'a3', answerText: 'Third answer in English' },
              ],
          },
      });
   

  
  

  then I update it with data in a different locale like so:

  
  

      await payload.update({
          collection: 'questions',
          locale: 'de',
          id: 'q1',
          data: {
              questionText: 'The question in German',
              answers: [
                  { id: 'a1', answerText: 'First answer in German' },
                  { id: 'a2', answerText: 'Second answer in German' },
                  { id: 'a3', answerText: 'Third answer in German' },
              ],
          },
      });
