hi @Bigdwarf43 !!

Thank you very much. Nice catch!

This is a reproducible bug :bug:

here is how I have reproduced it:

client.collections.delete(["Test", "NewTest"])
collection = client.collections.create("Test",
    properties=[
        wvc.config.Property(
            name="field_tokenizer",
            data_type=wvc.config.DataType.TEXT,
            tokenization=wvc.config.Tokenization.FIELD
        )
    ]
)

# extract the collection config dict
schema_dict = collection.config.get().to_dict()
defined_tokenizer = schema_dict.get("properties")[0].get("tokenizer")
assert defined_tokenizer == "field"

# create a new collection
modified_schema_dict = schema_dict
modified_schema_dict["class"] = "NewTest"
new_collection = client.collections.create_from_dict(modified_schema_dict)
new_tokenizer = new_collection.config.get().properties[0].tokenization.value
assert defined_tokenizer == new_tokenizer

I will escalate this ASAP.

Thanks!

hi @Bigdwarf43 !!

We have a PR already!

We should see a new version of the client with this issue fixed soon.

Thanks!
