What is the issue affecting?

Type Checking

Expected Behaviour

Accept tbl.foo = bar where tbl's keys are typed to a different type than __newindex's value type.

Actual Behaviour

Get error because bar's type is different from tbl's keys type.

Reproduction steps

With this initial code:

---@class PlugTagSpec ---@field name string ---@field desc string ---@type {[string]: PlugTagSpec} local predefined_tags = setmetatable({}, { ---@param name string ---@param spec {name?: string, desc: string} __newindex = function(self, name, spec) spec.name = name -- add name in spec rawset(self, name, spec) end, })

Use it with:

predefined_tags.foo = { desc = "bar" }

👉 Get error:

Missing required fields in type `PlugTagSpec`: `name` 

.. even though __newindex explicitely does not require the value to be a full spec but only its description (desc).
