Validation error with zodValidationPipe in nestjs

Question

I have the following graphql.

input UpdateStudentInput {
  name: String
  motherName: String
  birthDate: String
  gender: Gender
  email: String
  password: String
  avatar: String
}

And I have the following mutation:

updateStudent(updateStudentInput: UpdateStudentInput!, studentId: String): Student!

but when I try to mutate I get a validation error :

mutation {
  updateStudent(updateStudentInput: {
    name: "Abner Matheus Gomes 23"
  }, studentId: "190fc1f5-2e47-4ead-9a00-352e2081a96f") {
    id
    name
    motherName
    birthDate
    gender
    email
    avatar
    isActive
    createdAt
    updatedAt
    createdBy
    updatedBy
  }
}

The error:

            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "data": null
}

my resolver:

  @Mutation('updateStudent')
  @UsePipes(new ZodValidationPipe(UpdateStudentInputSchema))
  async update(
    @Args('updateStudentInput') updateStudentInput: UpdateStudentInput,
    @Args('studentId') studentId: string,
  ): Promise<Student> {
    console.log('updateStudentInput', updateStudentInput);
    return await this.studentService.update(studentId, updateStudentInput);
  }

and my pipeValidationDto:

export const UpdateStudentInputSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(3).max(255).optional(),
  motherName: z.string().min(3).max(255).optional(),
  birthDate: z.string().min(3).max(30).optional(),
  gender: z.string().min(3).max(10).optional(),
  email: z.string().email().optional(),
  password: z.string().optional(),
  avatar: z.string().optional(),
});

export class UpdateStudentInput extends createZodDto(
  UpdateStudentInputSchema,
) {}

where is the error ?

I'm doing the same thing in other mutations and it works normally.

note: i want the user to be able to enter only one of the fields and not have to enter all of them.
