Send Sharing Invitation - retainInheritedPermissions property failing

Question

When sending a sharing invitation for a driveItem the documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-invite?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http) mentions that you are able to indicate if you want the permissions to inherit by setting the property retainInheritedPermissions to true or false. When sending this property through it results in an invalidRequest. If it is omitted, the request succeeds (alas without the permission inheritance).

POST /v1.0/drives/{driveID}/items/{itemId}/invite HTTP/1.1

Payload:

{
    "recipients": [
        {
            "email": "user@example.org"
        }
    ],
    "requireSignIn": true,
    "sendInvitation": false,    
    "retainInheritedPermissions": false,
    "roles": [
        "read"
    ]
}

Error message:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "invalidRequest",
        "message": "Invalid request",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2023-04-06T02:40:11",
            "request-id": "xxxxxxxx",
            "client-request-id": "xxxxx"
        }
    }
}

I haven't seen it elsewhere nor have they mentioned it, and checking the documentation it still hasn't been updated to reflect their response.

Answer 3

The request will be succeeded if you add 'Prefer' header for value “apiversion=2.1”.

Answer 4

The request succeeds if you add 'Prefer' header for value “apiversion=2.1”.
