Hi @kicsijohn - What you are seeing is expected behaviour. The creation and modification of sub collections through data manager are not supported by FF at this time. Therefore, anything attempting to update with the sub collection reference can fail.

Hi @hariprasadms, okay but I don't want to change or update the reference, I want to update other fields in a document but if the document contains just one subcollection reference it won't allow me to save it
