import { CollectionConfig, Field } from 'payload/types';
import {isAdmin, isAdminOrSelf} from '../access/Access';


const Users: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'users',
  admin: {
    useAsTitle: 'mobile',
  },
  access: {
    read: isAdminOrSelf('id'),
    create: isAdminOrSelf('id'),
    update: isAdminOrSelf('id'),
    delete: isAdmin,
  },
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'mobile',
      type: 'text',
      required: true,
      unique: true,
      label: 'Mobile',
    },
    {
      name: 'first_name',
      type: 'text',
      label: 'First Name',
    },
    {
      name: 'last_name',
      type: 'text',
      label: 'Last Name',
    },
    {
      name: 'membership',
      type: 'select',
      options: [
        { label: 'Premium', value: 'premium' },
        { label: 'Basic', value: 'basic' },
      ],
      defaultValue: 'basic',
    },
  ]
};

export default Users;

But I am getting following error while creating a new record from payload cms admin

ERROR (payload): ValidationError: The following field is invalid: email
    at create (/Users/anil/Projects/RN/vqard-be/node_modules/payload/src/collections/operations/create.ts:215:11)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)
    at createHandler (/Users/anil/Projects/RN/vqard-be/node_modules/payload/src/collections/requestHandlers/create.ts:19:17)

Any pointers will be very helpful. TIA

For authentication, I am using a different collection called AdminUser

After digging a little I found that error is little misleading. This error is being thrown for duplicate email key from mongoose. Somehow mongoose is still validating for duplicate email which is basically null. So I didn’t had any problem for first user

Check for a email index in your Users collection and delete it. Payload creates a index when the project is bootstraped

— nailed it, this is the issue for sure

we don't ever delete indexes for you

so there's still a
unique
index in place
