Firestore: Bug in Index creation utility involving array fields

Question

Was trying out firestore array-contains feature:

I have a projects collection having an array field, projectUsers

Query:

 db.collection('projects')
  .where(`deleted`, '==', false)
  .orderBy('lastUpdate','desc')
  .where('projectUsers', 'array-contains', '56xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxc9')
  .get()
  .then(function (doc) {

    ....
    ....
 })

Firestore promptly gave me the index creation link that directed me to this:

When I click on the Create index button, nothing happens! Console shows the following error:

code: 400
message: "Unknown Index field mode: MODE_UNSPECIFIED"
status: "INVALID_ARGUMENT"

Thanks for finding a bug in the index creation wizard. Can you report the exact steps to reproduce in a bug report? — Frank van Puffelen

Have done that. Btw, does the feature cover not just arrays containing plain strings too? That is, say a map like, {"user":"Jon", "role": "admin"}? — ranjjose
