Is there a way to write a Firebase Doc Reference instead of a String?

Hey friends! Trying to update a parameter in Firebase but can't figure out how to make it a Doc Reference instead of just a String. Any thoughts?

Solution

hey @NickyDLT, if you're using the "Update Field Value" node then it's been updated to try and convert valid string references i.e

/users/H7sEUvlZaVRXgXnpSRZoTfJWUYn2

/users/H7sEUvlZaVRXgXnpSRZoTfJWUYn2

to a firestore doc reference. So if you re-add the node it should work now.
