Update of array of objects in a record

Question

i have following record in algolia

enterprise_name:"manaslu enterprise",
objectID:"14417261",_quotation:[{shamagri_title:"paper ad",price:4000,
unit:"per sq inc",
description:"5*5",
geo_latitude:40,
geo_longitude:89,
type:"service"}
]

i want to add following object to quotation array while quotation collection gets updated.

const enter =  db.collection("quotation").doc("14417261");

  return enter.update({
    shamagri_title: "banner ad",
    rate: 4000,
    unit: "per sq inch",
    description: "15 * 10",
    type: "service",
  });

i have tried to use following code from cloud function to update algolia record

 functions.firestore
  .document("quotation/{quotationId}")

  .onUpdate((change) => {
    const newData = change.after.data();
    const objectID = change.after.id;
    return index.partialUpdateObjects({
      _quotation: {
        _operation: "Add",
        value: newData,
      },
      objectID,
    });
  });

Based on firebase cloud function it does provide objectId based on update i have used above partialUpdateObjects function based on following example from algolia

index.partialUpdateObject({
  _tags: {
    _operation: 'AddUnique',
    value: 'public',
  },
  objectID: 'myID',
})
.then(({ objectIDs }) => {
  console.log(objectIDs);
});

however before i even deploy the cloud function, i get following error

 Argument of type '{ _quotation: { _operation: string; value: FirebaseFirestore.DocumentData; }; objectID: string; }' is not assignable to 
parameter of type 'readonly Record<string, any>[]'.
  Object literal may only specify known properties, and '_quotation' does not exist in type 'readonly Record<string, any>[]'.

19       _quotation: {
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20         _operation: "Add",
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
21         value: newData,
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
22       },
   ~~~~~~~

what might have gone wrong here?

i got rid of the error by using partialUpdateObject instead of partialUpdateObjects which is used for update for more than one record. in algolia object and objects make huge difference for singular and plural record update
