setState variable as path doesn't work

The following works

    setState("items", "collections", (collections: ItemCollection[]) =>
        [...collections].filter((collection) =>
            collection.id !== collection_id
        )
    )

    setState("items", "collections", (collections: ItemCollection[]) =>
        [...collections].filter((collection) =>
            collection.id !== collection_id
        )
    )

However, this doesn't work, why? path is always one of the possible keys inside items object.

    setState("items", path, (collections: ItemCollection[]) =>
        [...collections].filter((collection) =>
            collection.id !== collection_id
        )
    )

    setState("items", path, (collections: ItemCollection[]) =>
        [...collections].filter((collection) =>
            collection.id !== collection_id
        )
    )

ts error:

Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Part<ItemStore, keyof ItemStore>'. ts(2345)

having values as types in argument list resolves the issue 🤔

path: "collections" | "sharedCollections"

path: "collections" | "sharedCollections"

it's the same type of type-error like

const obj = {
  key: 'property'
}

let someKey = 'key';
obj[someKey] // type-error

const obj = {
  key: 'property'
}

let someKey = 'key';
obj[someKey] // type-error

because 'string' can't be used to index type '{ key: string; }' while

let someKey = 'key' as const;
obj[someKey] // no type-error

let someKey = 'key' as const;
obj[someKey] // no type-error
