Schema change not allowed from scalar to uid or vice versa while there is data for pred

Please note that Slash GraphQL does not allow you to alter the schema or create new predicates via GraphQL±. You will also not be able ta access the /alter endpoint or it’s gRPC equivalent. Please add your schema through the GraphQL endpoint (either via the UI or via the Admin API), before accessing the data with GraphQL±.
