** (Ash.Error.Invalid) Invalid Error * No such field name for resource

I am creating an admin app with data similar to the Tunez app from the Ash book from PragPro.
I want to query the artists by name sorted by name.

Using the tunez code, I am able to query via:

 Tunez.Music.search_artists!("a", query: [sort_input: "name"])

When querying with my app via:

Tuneshg.Music.search_artists!("a", query: [sort_input: "name"])

I get:

** (Ash.Error.Invalid) 
Invalid Error

The artist search action, and attributes are the same
The album define :search_artists are the same.

What could be the reason for the Ash.Error?
How can I evaluate what field is missing?

Thanks for your reply, Heiko

The name attribute needs to be marked as public? true :slight_smile:

As sort_input is intended for use with untrusted input, such as from a query string, you need to explicitly allow each field that you allow to be sorted on, by making them public.

Oh my.

Thank you again Rebecca.
Again you are right :sweat_smile:

And you are faster than lightning!

It works and now my admin tool for Artists and Albums is complete.

I promise not to ask anything today :innocent:

Have a nice Saturday.

Best wishes from Heiko
