I’m trying to create a hierarchical many-to-one relation to self type in my Accounts DB.

**Is there a bug here, or am I doing something wrong with this field definition?**  
[Note: this seems to actually be working as intended, just as it is, even with the error message]

The self-relation field in the Accounts DB schema:

```auto
    "Parent_Account": {
      "type": "text",
      "id": "Parent_Account",
      "name": "Parent_Account_Rel"
      "relation": {
         "cardinality": "many-to-one",
         "name": "Parent Account",
         "targetName": "Member Accounts",
         "targetType": "Accounts",
         "targetFieldId": "id"
       }
    },

```
