AEM GraphQL failing on properties with custom namespaces. How to query properties with custom namespaces?

For our project, we created a new namespace `salsify:` under Content Fragment. For example,

salsify:size
salsify:class
salsify:color

When creating PersistedQuery, the GraphiQL editor converts colon (:) to underscore and the queries are failing.

For example, above, property names are actually `salsify:size`, `salsify:class`, `salsify:color`. But graphql editor converts colon to underscores. Now when filtering for input parameters, the query always returns empty items.

I tried CONTAINS, EQUALS, doesn't work.

We cant query properties with namespace using graphQL?

HI @saravana_sgws ,

graphQL schema naming convention allows only camelCase, PascalCase or SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE fields. Colons are not allowed in graphql fields.
AEM replace any special characters to underscores. So salsify:size becomes salsify_size for the AEM schema.

Solution:-
Try to append _ignoreCode:true to the filter. This is not required for normal properties but only for name space

Thanks
