What is "Does not support untyped value in non-open type" ODataException in creating records in D365 CE? - CloudFronts

What is “Does not support untyped value in non-open type” ODataException in creating records in D365 CE?

One of the most common errors we come across while calling API to create records in Dynamics but isn’t clear what it means? One such issue is – “An error occurred while validating input parameters: Microsoft.OData.ODataException: Does not support untyped value in non-open type.

On the console of the browser, you’ll see this –
consoleLoggedError

But, if you open the <objectName>.responseText of the Failure message of the call, you’ll see the below –

originalErrorA more zoomed view of the error would be below –

badRequest

This is because of my typo in the code [Which is the case for most scenarios] where you mistype a name of the field and neither does the error itself doesn’t specify which field you’re missing out on nor what it means!

Reason

This is because of a simple typo  in one of the fields in the object I was creating using AJAX

faultLine

In my case, this should have been “entity.duration” and not “entity.durationn“.

It was a simple issue which led me wander troubleshooting in areas which I shouldn’t look into.

Hope this saves you some valuable time! Happy 365ing!
