Graphql-engine: variable used in position expecting type _text

[chrisjaimes]

following up with this issue https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/issues/1170

How can I include variables in mutations when the field type in the database is an array?

GraphQL

mutation insert($words: String!){
  insert_words(objects: {list: $words}) {
    returning {
       list
    }
  }
}

Query Variables

{
    "words": "{hello, world}"
}

I get the following error:

Variable $words of type String! used in position expecting type _text

@chrisjaimes The error is pretty self-explanatory :smile: , change String! to _text!
