When discussing sending a custom property value from one middleware function to another in the "Middleware Sequence and Routing" videos, I receive a typescript error on req.message: Property 'message' does not exist on type 'Request >' ts(2339) Of course this course isn't accounting for type checking -- and my VSCode setup lights this up immediately -- but would this mean that this approach is not common, and purely an example to show how data would be passed between middleware functions?

VSCode Type Error on "req.message"

When discussing sending a custom property value from one middleware function to another in the "Middleware Sequence and Routing" videos, I receive a typescript error on req.message:

Property 'message' does not exist on type 'Request<ParamsDictionary, any, any, ParsedQs, Record<string, any>>' ts(2339)

Of course this course isn't accounting for type checking -- and my VSCode setup lights this up immediately -- but would this mean that this approach is not common, and purely an example to show how data would be passed between middleware functions?
