[BUG] ComponentSchema.persistent should be of type (boolean | 'client-only')

[davebaol]

Environment

Please provide as many details as you can:

• Hosting type
  • [ ] Form.io
  • [ ] Local deployment
    • Version:
• Formio.js version: 4.9.27-rc.4
• Frontend framework:
• Browser:
• Browser version:

Steps to Reproduce

Setting the property persistent to client-only is a bit tricky:

const schema: ExtendedComponentSchema = {
    hideLabel: true
};
(schema as any).persistent = 'client-only';

Expected behavior

It should be as simple as

const schema: ExtendedComponentSchema = {
    hideLabel: true,
    persistent: 'client-only'
};

Observed behavior

Currently you get the error Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'boolean' because persistent is of type boolean instead of boolean | 'client-only'

@davebaol Hi could you please confirm if this issue persists in version 4.10.2?

[davebaol]

@jhen1422 I'd say yes, the issue is still there in 4.10.2: https://github.com/formio/formio.js/blob/v4.10.2/types/components/schema.d.ts#L71
