Schema error

entityType does not match the fixed value

Symptom

Schema error 'must be equal to constant' on entityType, often followed by 'must contain at least 1 valid item' on the parent array.

Cause

Every entity carries a fixed entityType (default, sender, receiver, contact, pensionProvider, scheme, cohort, reportingPeriod, portfolio, pool, trade, payment, creditor, investmentDetails, corporateAction). A different spelling or capital makes the object unrecognisable.

Fix

Copy the entityType exactly from the schema.

Wrong and right

Wrong

{ "entityType": "Cohort" }

Right

{ "entityType": "cohort" }
