Custom input types for immediate inputs of custom nodes

[vincenzoml]

In a new application I'm invoking custom nodes in comfyui, via machine generated prompts, and the custom nodes accept structured records as inputs. I just put the structured records in the JSON format of the workflow as immediate inputs of the nodes as follows

    "node_id": {
        "class_type": "CustomClass",
        "inputs": {
            "url": {
                "url": "https://something.cool.com",
                "type": "fileType"
            }
        }
    }

but I get a warning in the interface as shown below; is this unavoidable? Should the interface accept also structured objects even if these can't be directly edited? They could be edited as JSON nevertheless. I was considering an RFC.

Currently the data type in the nodes.inputs.type field is defined as following. I don't see any issue of your example. Can you share the full workflow which triggered the alert?

// TODO: Investigate usage of array and number as data type usage in custom nodes.
// Known usage:
// - https://github.com/rgthree/rgthree-comfy Context Big node is using array as type.
export const zDataType = z.union([z.string(), z.array(z.string()), z.number()])

I can share a workflow but I cannot publish the custom nodes yet. The declaration of the problematic node (node 0) is

 def INPUT_TYPES(cls):
        return {
            "required": {
                "url": ({"url": "STRING", "type": "STRING"}, {}),
            }
        }
