Why do I get "Associated reference no longer appears to be available"?

I have explained whole issue here https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin/issues/5142 . But as far as the stackoverflow community is more active, I mention the issue here too.

Please explain me, why this sample code is working properly

  <ReferenceInput label={"Specification"} perPage={20} source={"specificationName"}
                                    reference={ResourceNames.SPECIFICATIONS}>
                        <SelectInput optionText={"name"}/>
   </ReferenceInput>

while this code is showing the "Associated reference no longer appears to be available" error message.

  <ReferenceInput label={"Specification"} perPage={20} source={"specificationName"}
                                    reference={ResourceNames.SPECIFICATIONS}>
                        <SelectInput optionText={"name"} optionValue={"name"} />
   </ReferenceInput>

The only difference between above given examples - is the optionValue property passed to SelectInput. What's wrong with it? I don't want my SelectInput to use ID as a value... How the optionValue property is related to the above mentioned error message?

Please help! Thank you in advance

This error can occur also if your model filter doesn't accept an ids attribute, observed in the web console.

I ended up in this situation because I based my schema off the schema provided in the readme of ra-data-graphql-simple.

To solve, I added the ids property to the type filter in the graphql schema.

PS - if you're bootstrapping like I was, it will be time to swap out the Edit and List Guessers for components that make use of a reference field
