I could fix the problem by manually add the SortableFields Enum to my schema and add the missing fields, but now i need to manually keep that in sync.

Hi @Jupdi, Thank you for bringing this to our attention.We greatly appreciate your proactive approach in resolving the problem by manually adding the missing fields to the SortableFields enum in the schema. We have successfully reproduced the problem by following the steps outlined in the description. As a result, we have categorized this as a bug and will further investigate it with our team.

schema used:

type Post @model @searchable {
  postId: ID!
    @primaryKey(sortKeyFields: ["title"])
    @index(name: "postByPostId", sortKeyFields: ["title"])
  title: String!
  comments: [Comment] @hasMany(indexName: "byPost", fields: ["postId", "title"])
  posttype: PostType
}

type Comment @model {
  commentId: ID! @primaryKey(sortKeyFields: ["content"])
  content: String!
  postId: ID @index(name: "byPost", sortKeyFields: ["postTitle"]) # customized foreign key for parent primary key
  postTitle: String # customized foreign key for parent sort key
  post: Post @belongsTo(fields: ["postId", "postTitle"])
}

enum PostType {
  newsletter
  blog
}
