Research direction

Reproduce the reported django+graphql+mongo setup using TableRowCellType and TableRowCell, then trace where MongoEngineObjectType converts fields. The issue is resolved when the DynamicField conversion behavior is supported or clearly narrowed to a documented limitation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Can't really find out what is the problem. I get the error when running django+graphql+mongo project:

Don't know how to convert the MongoEngine field <mongoengine.fields.DynamicField object at 0x000001B86AC92690> (<class 'mongoengine.fields.DynamicField'>)

`
class TableRowCellType(MongoengineObjectType):
class Meta:
model = TableRowCell

class TableRowCell(EmbeddedDocument):
value = DynamicField()

`
