Error:

RequestBodyRead The property 'name' does not exist on type 'microsoft.graph.recipient'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type or mark the type as open type.

Answer 1

You need to edit the EmailAddress() class.

In graph.py, remove all instances of name and odata type as these are unnecessary in the call resulting in the error.

Example:

# Stores additional data not described in the OpenAPI description found when deserializing. Can be used for serialization as well.
additional_data: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
# The email address of the person or entity.
address: Optional[str] = None

@staticmethod
def create_from_discriminator_value(parse_node: Optional[ParseNode] = None) -> EmailAddress:
    """
    Creates a new instance of the appropriate class based on discriminator value
    param parse_node: The parse node to use to read the discriminator value and create the object
    Returns: EmailAddress
    """
    if not parse_node:
        raise TypeError("parse_node cannot be null.")
    return EmailAddress()

def get_field_deserializers(self,) -> Dict[str, Callable[[ParseNode], None]]:
    """
    The deserialization information for the current model
    Returns: Dict[str, Callable[[ParseNode], None]]
    """
    fields: Dict[str, Callable[[Any], None]] = {
        "address": lambda n : setattr(self, 'address', n.get_str_value()),
    }
    return fields

def serialize(self,writer: SerializationWriter) -> None:
    """
    Serializes information the current object
    param writer: Serialization writer to use to serialize this model
    Returns: None
    """
    if not writer:
        raise TypeError("writer cannot be null.")
    writer.write_str_value("address", self.address)
    writer.write_additional_data_value(self.additional_data)
