Hi, I am trying to figure out if the following case is supported by KGraphQL. I need to write an api where the input is something like the composite design patter.. For keeping the API general I want the input type to be the type of the base class. When I try to do it I get a Failed to coerce exception. So the input type would be:

sealed class Base {
    data class Leaf(val prop: Int): Base()
    data class Composite(val prop: List<Base>): Base()
}

I tried different kind of kotlinx.serialization annotations to make it work but it seems like behind the scenes it failed since Jackson is used. Also when I try to use the base as an inputType I get an error that it doesn't have any fields. I also tried to use the derived classes as inputType. Without success.
Last, in the examples I can only see something which returns a unionType (not something the accepts a unionType).

Hi, this is currently not supported by the GraphQL spec.
They are working on a specification of how this would work. And I think when it will get into the official spec, something like sealed class for a input type will be the perfect solution.
