Can I have a JSON Schema dependency that adds a field inside an array of objects? - jsonschema

Question

I have a JSON Schema that includes an array of objects. I'd like one of the fields inside those objects to be dependent on a property outside the array.
I created the following schema:
{
type: "object",
properties: {
showNotes: {
title: "Add notes field",
type: "boolean",
},
choices: {
type: "array",
title: "Choices",
items: {
type: "object",
properties: {
itemName: {
type: "string",
title: "Item"
},
isRequired: {
type: "boolean",
title: "Required?",
default: false
},
note: {}
}
},
default: [
{
content: "Thing 1",
correct: false
}
]
}
},
dependencies: {
showNotes: {
oneOf: [
{
properties: {
showNotes: {
enum: [
false
]
}
}
},
{
properties: {
showNotes: {
enum: [
true
]
},
note: {
title: "Note",
type: "string"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
I was hoping that the new field note would update the one at items/note, but it did not, instead it generated a new field note at the bottom. This can be seen here:

I assume that the solution will have something to do with adding $ref reference, but I haven't been able to work it out.

Answer 1

I was able to solve this.
I needed to put the entire path to notes in my oneOf option:
showNotes: {
oneOf: [
{
properties: {
showNotes: {
enum: [
false
]
}
}
},
{
properties: {
showNotes: {
enum: [
true
]
},
choices: {
items: {
properties: {
note: {
type: "string",
title: "Note"
}
}
}
}
}
}
]
}
