Singleton Document Setup is Complex + [BUG] Its is still repeatable

Describe the bug Creating a singleton document is really hard in Sanity. Just to make it non-ropeable, I had to create extra files & hours of finding proper docs, asking in the slack community etc.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Try to make a singleton document from scratch and see how complex it is.
2. Click on the Top Edit button (Top-Left: just after name )
3. Now click the option to add Document
4. Click on the Singleton Type created
5. We are still able to create new one

Expected behavior

It should not be able to add an array[] if its singleton, Also the configuration should be as simple using Schema. eg:

"repeatable": false

Screenshots

So, please consider this issue and try to come up with a better solution.

Thank you. ~Surjith

It’s been a year since this issue was created and Sanity still doesn’t want to make the process any simpler? What a shame! Might have to consider another CMS if convenience is not Sanity wants to offer.

@pexeixv I’m with you. But believe me, Sanity is the best CMS apart from these minor issues.

Now I can create singleton in 5 minutes even though its a hack. I’m used to it.

Steps:

1. Create normal document
2. Add some content
3. Disable create & delete as @doublejosh said
4. That’s it

Here’s how the code looks like: https://github.com/web3templates/stablo/blob/main/studio/schemas/siteConfig.js

Note: Make sure you add step 3 only after 1 & 2.
