Custom Connector different Responses not handled

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We have several flows that allow us to post issues to a self hosted version of GitLab and I created a custom connector to use the GitLab API in order to create new issues. 

Several of the flows return this error:

`The API 'gitlabv3-5f511de89da5d033b8-5f02b987a92b317a7f' returned an invalid response for workflow operation 'Post_4_DBAs' of type 'OpenApiConnection'. Error details: 'The API operation 'CreateNewIssue' requires the property 'body/assignee' to be of type 'String' but is of type 'Object'.`

 

I have edited the Swagger to force 'body/assignee' to be of type 'String' but it did not work, I then tried to change it to be of type 'Object' and that also did not work. Due to the consistent "failing" of the flow, (the issue gets posted but power automate considers it a failure because the response does not match what it thinks it should be) because of how often it errors out the flow continues to turn itself off which causes problems for us as new flows are not run that are mission criticial.

 

Anyone have any ideas as to how to have this handle multiple response types?
