Title: Creating an entry with a matrix field using GraphQL
ThreadText: # Creating an entry with a matrix field using GraphQL
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-02-08)
  
  I am trying to create a new entry in Craft CMS using GraphQL. The entry has a matrix field called "vehicles" that has a single block called "vehicle". This block has a single field called "vehicleValue".
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/jncw5.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/jncw5.png)
  
  In GraphiQL I am using the following query to save a new entry:
  
  ```
  mutation SaveVehicle($vehicles: vehicles_MatrixInput) {
    save_applications_application_Entry(vehicles: $vehicles) {
      uid
      vehicles {
        ... on vehicles_vehicle_BlockType {
          vehicleValue
        }
      }
    }
  }
  
  ```
  
  Then I pass the following variables:
  
  ```
  {
    "vehicles": {
      "blocks": [
        {
          "vehicle": {
            "vehicleValue": 111
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
  
  ```
  
  The query runs and a new entry is created but the matrix field is empty.
  
  The schema is public so no auth is required.
  
  I am new to using Craft and GraphQL so it is probably something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Try this:
  
  ```graphql
  mutation SaveVehicle($vehicles: [vehicles_MatrixBlockContainerInput], $sortOrder: [QueryArgument]) {
    save_applications_application_Entry(vehicles: {blocks: $vehicles, sortOrder: $sortOrder}) {
          uid
          vehicles {
              ...on vehicles_vehicle_BlockType {
                  vehicleValue
              }
          }
      }
  }
  
  ```
  
  And your variables:
  
  ```json
  {
      "sortOrder":"new1",
      "vehicles": [
          {
              "vehicle": {
                  "id": "new1", 
                  "vehicleValue": "111"
              }
          }
      ]
  }
  
  ```
