Type Mismatch Issue: Incorrect Type Assignment for Checkbox Field

[SvenBudak]

I just noticed a problem with the types. I created a new field of type checkbox, but your extension sets the following type:

gender?: unknown | null;

However, this somehow doesn’t make sense...

The correct type would be:

gender?: string[] | null;

Can someone confirm that this is a bug?

I'm not a maintainer of this module, so just for information:
In your screencast the JSON field-type is used. The generator currently always uses unknown for json and csv fields:

directus-extension-generate-types/src/lib/generateTypes/ts.ts

Line 62 in 89c7dd4

else if (["json", "csv"].includes(field.type)) type = "unknown";

JSON is the only option that make multi select possible for "checkbox" maybe it makes sense to add a special rule for checkboxes then...

Any progress on this?
