+  someUnknownField refers to a record field, but no corresponding record type is in scope.
+  
+  If it's defined in another module or file, bring it into scope by:
+  - Prefixing the field name with the module name: TheModule.someUnknownField
+  - Or specifying the record type explicitly:
+  let theValue: TheModule.theType = {someUnknownField: VALUE}
