Related issue: Incorrect join table identification -

type Box @model @auth(rules: [{allow: public}]) {
  id: ID!
  name: String
  crateID: ID! @index(name: "byCrate")
  Crate: Crate @belongsTo(fields: ["crateID"])
}

type Crate @model @auth(rules: [{allow: public}]) {
  id: ID!
  destination: String
  Boxes: [Box] @hasMany(indexName: "byCrate", fields: ["id"])
}

+1, am seeing this issue -- creating an "Entry" with no "User" leads to the data manager infinitely loading as well.
