Unable to create DNS records: required record name fields are absent despite providing required fields

[priteshlaxman243]

We are using the Infoblox Universal DDI Python SDK (universal-ddi-python-client) and consistently see this error when creating DNS records:

required record name fields are absent: either "zone" or "name_in_zone" and "zone" or "absolute_name_spec" and "view" should be present

However, our payload includes all of these fields:

{
"absolute_name_spec": "gmiudditestpri.tstgenmills.com.",
"type": "A",
"rdata": { "address": "172.26.225.34" },
"ttl": 3600,
"view": "dns/view/a18553c2-c006-4c89-ae95-af54d13d71c6",
"zone": "dns/auth_zone/610f6542-6ddd-4f26-b2d7-245618395b85",
"name_in_zone": "gmiudditestpri"
}

We have tried both:

absolute_name_spec + view

name_in_zone + zone

but the same error is returned.

Questions:

Is this a known issue with the SDK or API?

Is the SDK still being maintained?

Is there a recommended workaround for creating records in this scenario?

This is currently blocking our DNS automation, so any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @priteshlaxman243, we understand the above observation, Could you please try using only name_in_zone + zone combination in the payload without including view ? This should help unblock the issue.
