Using objects from components in arrays of other object

Hello everyone. I can't find any solution, unfortunately. So, I have the object 'address' in my schemas of components, and I want to use it in the array 'addresses', which is a part of the request body. How can I do that? If I do:

 

addresses:
type: array
items:
$ref: '#/components/schemas/addresses'

 

then I get:

 

"addresses": [

{

"address": [

{

 

but I need just properties of 'address' in 'addresses' like:

"addresses":[{properties_of_address},{properties_of_address}]

    Can you also post the "address" schema?

        Your schemas look correct. Make sure there are no extra nesting levels in the schemas. Check this example for the reference:
