abhijitjadhav67, it looks like YAML indentation was lost when you pasted the example. Could you please either post the file as an attachment, or use the "insert code" button to re-post the YAML? Thanks.

      Try this:

          B:
      title: B
      type: object
      properties:
        field3:
          maxLength: 80
          type: string
        aList:
          type: array
          items:
            $ref: '#/components/schemas/A'

       When you use $ref, there's no need to redefine the referenced properties alongside the $ref.
