Error: initializing netbox controller

[sanjaypjana]

I am setting up a new instance of ip controller, It looks like a get request to netbox pod was executed successfully. When the ip controller pod does a post i am getting a error.

The below is from pod logs of ip controller:

Error: initializing netbox controller: "upserting UID field: executing request: 400 Bad Request: {"object_types":["This field is required."]}"

The below is the pod log from netbox for the transaction:

"POST /api/extras/custom-fields/ HTTP/1.1" 400 44 "-" "Go-http-client/1.1"

Its not clear to me what went wrong. Can anyone help?

👋 what version of NetBox were you running this against?

This error is coming from the UpsertUIDField function, which is responsible for creating the uid custom field. As the error implies, the controller is not passing a value for object_types field in the request to create the custom field.
