Excluded indexes from nested Array

Hi team, Currently I couldn’t exclude indexs of properties inside array when using google-cloud-python

My model is quite complex,1 flow contains many flow childs and each child could contains other flow childs as well

Flow model:

{
  title: 'name',
  description: 'LONG_TEXT_HERE',
  flow_children: [ 
      {
        title: 'name',
        description: 'LONG_TEXT_HERE',
        flow_children: []
    }
   ] 
}

Im trying to follow document to exclude indexs by several way but it didnt work.

task = datastore.Entity(key=key, exclude_from_indexes=['consideration','description','flow_children','flow_children[].description'])

Still get below error google.api_core.exceptions.BadRequest: 400 The value of property "description" is longer than 1500 bytes.

Then I try to use google cloud console to update entity with value and index directly, it works.

{
  "values": [
    {
      "entityValue": {
        "properties": {
          "flow_children": {
            "arrayValue": {
              "values": [
                {
                  "entityValue": {
                    "properties": {
                      "description": {
                        "stringValue":"LONG_TEXT_HERE",
                       "excludeFromIndexes": true
          },
          "type": {
            "stringValue": "flowstep"
          },
          "title": {
            "stringValue": "Go to back yard"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Anyone could help me with this case please 😦

For anyone else struggling with this one and landing on this page, much like myself, here’s a snippet that is a bit more comprehensible than the one above IMO:

key = client.key("MyKind", f"{account_id}_{integration_id}")
# this is not enough to not index the secret
integration = datastore.Entity(key=key, exclude_from_indexes=["secret"])

# ensure that nested fields are not indexed - *le sigh*
keys = secret.keys()
secret_entity = datastore.Entity(exclude_from_indexes=list(keys))
secret_entity.update(secret)


record = {
    "integration_id": integration_id,
    "account_id": account_id,
    "secret": secret_entity,
    "created_at": datetime.utcnow(),
    "updated_at": datetime.utcnow(),
    "visible_fields": visible_fields or [],
}
integration.update(record)

client.put(integration)

@duyphuong13 For nested values to be excluded, they must be created as Entity instances, rather than bare dicts. So, for your example, I wrote this gist.
