Data in db.patch() gets overwritten, even though its not defined?

Hey, when using db.patch() and passing in the args i wanna patch from, one of my fields in this case thumbnailId and thumbnailUrl gets removed? Even though they arent defined, so i would expect that they get ignored?

I might be overlooking something very obvious, but have been tryna fix this for a bit now without luck.

export const updateDetails = mutation({
  args: {
    videoId: v.id('videos'),
    title: v.optional(v.string()),
    description: v.optional(v.string()),
    tags: videoSchema.tags,
    category: videoSchema.category,
  },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await ctx.db.patch(args.videoId, {
      snippet: {
        title: args.title,
        description: args.description,
      },
      tags: args.tags,
      category: args.category,
    })
  },
})

      tags: args.tags,
      category: args.category,
    })
  },
})

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
