Conditionally displayed reference field is broken when condition changes

[hrabiel]

Describe the bug

I encountered an issue in Sanity Studio. When a field of Reference type is configured to be displayed conditionally, by adding a hidden property, it breaks after the condition changes. It becomes impossible to click on the reference in order to open a referenced document. It is fixed if I reload the page, but if the condition changed again, the issue appears again.

Below is a code example. Conditional logic was added as follows. The example repository is build upon a default Movie project Sanity template.

import {defineField, defineType} from 'sanity'

export default defineType({
  name: 'castMember',
  title: 'Cast Member',
  type: 'object',
  fields: [
    defineField({
      name: 'characterName',
      title: 'Character Name',
      type: 'string',
    }),
    // This field is used as a condition
    defineField({
      name: 'showActor',
      title: 'Show Actor',
      type: 'boolean',
    }),
    defineField({
      name: 'person',
      title: 'Actor',
      type: 'reference',
      to: [{type: 'person'}],
      hidden: ({parent}) => !parent?.showActor, // Display `person` field if only `showActor` is `true`
    }),
    defineField({
      name: 'externalId',
      title: 'External ID',
      type: 'number',
    }),
    defineField({
      name: 'externalCreditId',
      title: 'External Credit ID',
      type: 'string',
    }),
  ],
  preview: {
    select: {
      subtitle: 'characterName',
      title: 'person.name',
      media: 'person.image',
    },
  },
})
