Actor standby with required input

AArnold

I tried to make a standard actor into a standby actor. The required input is TOKEN while the rest is optional.

However, when i call the API with postman, it keeps asking to provide TOKEN as it's required. I've tried to provide it through query parameter or payload (seems not working since it's a HTTP GET)
the error message is as following:

Plain Text

{
  "error": {
    "type": "invalid-request",
    "message": "Unexpected error: Failed to start new Actor runs! Underlying error: 'Input is not valid: Field input.TOKEN is required'."
  }
}

However, if i modify the input schema and change TOKEN into an optional input, it works perfectly.

Does standby mode doesn't support required input or do I miss something?

Did you set the header values rightly?

it's my custom parameter in query string, doesn't go to header

hey ...this is a bug on the platform. Currently the workaround is not to use required parameters, or to create a task (with the required parameter set) or add default value to the required parameter in INPUT_SCHEMA
