Completely wrong:

This is App.vue:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'

interface Thing {
  description: string
}

const np = ref<Thing>({
  description: 'asdf asdf asdf',
})
</script>

<template>
  {{ np?.description }}
  <br />
  <textarea v-model.trim="np?.description"></textarea>
</template>

Here is a complete reproduction of the error:

Thanks for any help here <3

    You cannot use double binding (v-model) with optional linking (np?.description). Double binding means getter and setter. What do you want the setter to set when np is false? I know you're wrapping it in a v-if , but the optional linkage tells v-model that the target object structure may be undefined, which is an invalid assignment target.

    One approach is to create a calculated description where you specify how to set np.description when the current value of np > allows: 

    const description = computed({
  get() {
    return np.value?.description || ''
  },
  set(description) {
    if (typeof np.value?.description === 'string') {
      np.value = { ...np.value, description }
    }
  },
})

    See how it works here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/vue3-vite-typescript-starter-wrvbqw?file=src/App.vue

    The above is a very general solution (when you actually really need to use the optional linkage of v-model).
    In your case, a simpler alternative (probably because you wrap
