CIM - validationMode will not accept blank value when calling createCustomerProfileRequest

[sdwebguy]

The docs say that when calling createCustomerProfileRequest using the CIM XML method, we can set the validationMode set to blank or use "none".

When I set it to blank, I received back the following error:

[E00003] The 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd:validationMode' element is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd:validationModeEnum' - The Enumeration constraint failed.

When it said blank, I think it mean not to send the <validationMode /> at all.

I agree -- Not sending it at all validates, but blank (empty string) is not the same as null (no value).

Can someone at Authorize clarify this?

I can confirm that if you don't want to include a validationMode setting, then the element should be left out of the XML completely.  This is generally true for all of our APIs.  I'll make a note of this documentation so that the wording is updated to be more precise in future revisions.

Thanks for the feedback!
