    I think i have worked it out.

     

    My original reference was as follows:

    What I did was modify it as follows:

     

         $ref: 'product/Products.yaml#/components/schemas/CreateProduct'

    Strangely i was also able to remove the leading slash before component and it worked also as follows:

         $ref: 'product/Products.yaml#components/schemas/CreateProduct'
