   {
      name: 'heroImage',
      type: 'upload',
      relationTo: 'media',
      admin: {
        condition: (_, siblingData) =>
          siblingData.showHero && !siblingData.makeSlider,
      },
    },

In my generated types, this field is defined as

string | Media

. Now, I understand the Media type, as this is just the generated type for the relation on this field, but I don't understand how it could possibly be string. Just wondering what cases I might need to handle where this field may be string?

set
depth
to 0 and then query a document in your collection

/api/collection-slug/id?depth=0

Encountered the same issue. Makes sense. Is there a rule I can set tsconfig to stop my editor complaining?

property 'url' does not exist on type 'string | Media'.

It’s not really an error though. It could be a string, so the TS error is accurate. Maybe you’ll find some helpful info here:
