Error Code: Validation error at #/data_sources/0/azure_search/parameters/query_type: Input should be 'simple', 'semantic', 'vector', 'vector_simple_hybrid' or 'vector_semantic_hybrid'

Question

Yesterday, after adding data to the Index on the chat playground, when I sent the message to the chatbot, the chatbot failed to respond to any queries and returned the error message: “Validation error at #/data_sources/0/azure_search/parameters/query_type: Input should be ‘simple’, ‘semantic’, ‘vector’, ‘vector_simple_hybrid’ or ‘vector_semantic_hybrid’.” It still does not work now. I’ve reviewed the code using the provided button on the chat playground, and it appears to be correct. Could someone assist me in resolving this issue or explain the possible cause?

Based on this old thread, here is a workaround by coming out of the project, out of the hub and back to the root of AI Studio. Here you can select 'Resources and Keys'.

Select the AI resource you've been working with:

Once you select it, you will be taken to the 'Chat' section of AI Playground where you can select your deployment and add you data:

When adding the data source, I selected 'Azure AI Search', selected my 'AI Search Service', then the 'AI Search index', I selected 'Add vector', then selected the 'Embedding model' and clicked 'Next' In 'Data Management' Search Type = Hybrid + Semantic, selected my existing search config and clicked 'Next' In Data connection I selected 'API key' and clicked 'Next' In 'Review and finish' I verified all looked good, clicked 'Save and close'

This takes you back to the Chat Playground, I was able to enter my system message and then successfully test the chat with no error. Hoping this workaround helps other too.
