Graph Api create subscription returns BadRequest ExtensionError when includeResourceData set to false

Question

Graph Api create subscription returns BadRequest ExtensionError when includeResourceData set to false.

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions
{
"changeType": "updated,deleted",
"notificationUrl": "https://notificationsapp.azurewebsites.net/api/notify",
"resource": "/groups",
"expirationDateTime": "2021-07-14T04:00:00.0000000Z",
"clientState": "ClientStateSecret",
"includeResourceData": false
}

Response:

{
"error": {
"code": "ExtensionError",
"message": "Operation: Create; Exception: [Status Code: BadRequest; Reason: BadRequest]",
"innerError": {
"date": "2021-07-14T03:47:43",
"request-id": "60825edd-387a-438e-8c2a-5a7ba042870b",
"client-request-id": "60825edd-387a-438e-8c2a-5a7ba042870b"
}
}
}

If I remove the "includeResourceData": false, then the subscription is successfully created.

Best,

I see the same behavior with groups resource type. Since this resource does not support including the resource data with the change notification - Only these are supported as of now, I suggest you ignore the includeResourceData field in your request until the behavior when it is set to false is addressed.

It is important to note that this issue only happens for groups resource and not the others that support change notifications.
