Nested Metaobject Mutation help

I have a metaobject that has the following structure:

 

State - Single Line String

Laws - List of MetaObjects of type "Law" 

Notes - List of MetaObjects of type "Note"

 

My question is how do I construct a mutation and variables to populate the list of Law and Note MetaObjects?

 

The individual "Law" and "Note" metaobjects have been created and I have their handles.  

 

Variable definition for the CreateMetaobject mutation:

{
      capabilities: {
        publishable: {
          status: "ACTIVE"
        }
      },                 
    type: "stateLawList",
    handle: `${ samHandle.toLowerCase()}`,
    fields: [
        {
            key: "state",
            value: state
        },
        {
            key: "laws",
            value: ??List of Law MetaObjects??
        },
        {
            key: "notes",
            value: ??List of Note MetaObjects??
        }
    ]
  }

What should the "value" property look like in my variables passed to the CreateMetaobject mutation???

 

I tried an array of handles and that was a failure.  Also tried a comma separated list of handles.

 

Have not tried an array or list of gids.  Or do I need to query each Law and Note and pass the entire metaobject as a field value?  

 

If the field is defined as a list, can you supply an array of values?  In looking at the documentation it sure looks like the "value" field needs to be a string.  

 

A bit confused can someone help?

 

Thanks,

Dan
