Question

An object field has an empty 'properties' attribute

I’m trying to create a new field in an already profile-enabled schema. I usually add fields to this schema without any issues, but today I’m encountering an error.

The error indicates that there is an empty object in another schema that this one is referencing. I checked the referenced schema, but I’m not able to find any empty object there.

Has anyone encountered this before or knows what might be causing it?

Error:
An object field has an empty 'properties' attribute. Field path: /definitions/customFields/properties/<field group

Hey ​@PrikshitBa.

I've seen this before.

The fix is to export the full schema JSON and search for properties: {} if found add at least one child field under that object or remove the empty object if allowed.

I would check all custom field groups used by the schema if there are multiple field groups used.

To export the full json schema you can either use the UI or Schema Registry Api
