We have been using the Education Beta Graph API to create an edit assignments for months without issue.
However something has happened in the last day or so to stop this working. No code changes have happened on our side.
Using this endpoint: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/educationclass-post-assignments
now returns a 400 bad request with the following error message:
Invalid OData type specified: "microsoft.education.assignments.api.educationAssignmentPointsGradeType"
This is an urgent problem as our software is now broken for all customers who utilise the link to their Teams for education.
Please advise of any new OData type. Your docs still reference educationAssignmentPointsGradeType.
Hello @Tom Ford thank you for reaching out. Would you share a the request details so we can look into this?
Based on the metadata (https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata), the correct namespace and type should be microsoft.graph.educationAssignmentGradeType. This also aligns with the JSON representation in the Graph documentation:
json
{
"id": "String (identifier)",
"addedStudentAction": "none",
"addToCalendarAction": "string",
"allowLateSubmissions": true,
"allowStudentsToAddResourcesToSubmission": true,

Thanks @Marc LaFleur that has resolved the issue for me. The namespaces have changed.
I replaced microsoft.education.assignments.api.educationAssignmentPointsGradeType with microsoft.graph.educationAssignmentPointsGradeType and microsoft.education.assignments.api.educationLinkResource with microsoft.graph.educationLinkResource.
Once I made those changes I was also able to switch my assignment api requests to the v1 endpoint rather than using beta. Hopefully a breaking change like that will not happen on v1!
Same problem here:

It is urgent for me too.

When I change these @odata.type to : microsoft.graph.educationAssignmentPointsGradeType
and microsoft.graph.educationAssignmentRecipient
Then I got " code : 20132, The content of the request is invalid. Common causes are an invalid Content-Type header(truncated...) "
Any solutions?
@Diana Wanjuhi Please could you advise of a solution. It has now been over a week with no progress made!
