I am also getting this exact same behaviour when I have a custom id i.e. that is not named 'id'

@cslogan-red I don't think it's a feature request, it's definitely a bug

[cslogan-red]

All GQL models within Admin UI are required to have an id field as primary key, we don't support the concept of non-id custom keys due to underlying limitations of DataStore itself, it's in our backlog to add support for this feature in the future.

This should be mentioned in the docs. One of the examples uses email as a private key: https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/graphql-transformer/key/#example-get-customers-by-email

So all my models are id based with the exception of using @key which I believe just makes another table where the desired field(s) become the id which is likely the same thing just mentioning as my experience with this issue

Well this is just for the ui version. You can still use email as primary key and work fine in your website and all that just not in the admin ui clickable interface

@24jr from what I understood, Datastore won’t work

[24jr]

@dn-l Oh maybe. I don't use that. But I think straight up gql calls work fine
