Resolving a field that references a Type in another subgraph

Help
1

So, here’s my stack:

Customers subgraph running on Django, python, graphene-federation.

  • Has a CustomerType that is linked to a Customer model

Sprints subgraph running on Django, python, graphene-federation.

  • Has a SprintType that is linked to a Sprint model
  • The SprintType has a field called “customer” that holds a UUID to a Customer in the Customers service.

My question is:
How would I make sure that the “customer” field in the SprintType is being resolved within the Customers subgraph?

Here’s the query I am trying to run:

query Query {
  allSprints {
    customer {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

Here’s the error code:

  "data": {
    "allSprints": [
      {
        "customer": null
      }
    ]
  },

        "customer",
        "name"
      ],

        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

I forgot to mention: I am also using Apollo Gateway that combines these services’ subgraphs into a supergraph for federation.
