@hanihusam there is how i managed to do this

  const rawState =
    mentions?.reduce<Record<string, RawDraftEntity>>(
      (previousValue, currentValue, index) => ({
        ...previousValue,
        [index.toString()]: {
          type: 'mention',
          mutability: 'MUTABLE',
          data: { mention: currentValue }
        }
      }),
      {}
    ) ?? {}
  rawContent.entityMap = rawState

I've used a @ts-ignore ignore for that line, but probably @treago 's solution is better!

Thanks! It helps me very much. @treago
