    Hi lia ,

     

    You were very close, there isn't a "isArray" flag but there is an "array" type. See the following example...

    components:
  schemas:
    CustomMap:
      type: object
      additionalProperties:
        type: array
        items:
          $ref: '#/components/schemas/CustomObjectType'      
    CustomObjectType:
      type: object

     See: https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/data-types/#array
