There is no way to update an item in an array by an index. You'll have to read the document, get the current value for the `posts` array, update that, and write the entire (updated) array back to the database. – Frank van Puffelen Oct 04 '22 at 00:05

Exactly as I said: read the document, get the array from it, update the value, and write the entire array back to the document. – Frank van Puffelen Oct 04 '22 at 00:49
