Missing Device attributes

[cnotin]

Describe the bug

The Device class https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-beta-sdk-java/blob/main/src/main/java/com/microsoft/graph/beta/generated/models/Device.java has several attributes missing in this SDK (and certainly others) compared to what's returned by the API:

• createdDateTime
• ~deletedDateTime~ (available, actually)
• externalSourceName
• sourceType

Here's the proof that they are returned by the API:

{
  "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#devices",
  "value": [
    {
      "id": "15b8b2c6-5056-412c-ad0f-4f06e0f140c2",
      "deletedDateTime": null,
[...}
      "createdDateTime": "2023-12-12T07:50:41Z",
[...]
      "externalSourceName": null,
[...]
      "sourceType": null,
[...]
    },

When using the PowerShell Graph SDK, they are available via AdditionalProperties These are also not documented.

I suppose this is because the metadata of the Graph API doesn't return those. So the issue is similar to https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-beta-sdk-java/issues/838 and https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-beta-sdk-java/issues/499

Thanks for raising this issue @cnotin.

While we resolve the issue with the API service team. You can also use getAdditionalData() to get key-value pairs for the missing properties.

Minor sidenote: getDeletedDateTime is available on the Device model via inheritance.

[cnotin]

Thank you! We'll monitor this then ;) And we noted the workaround.

[cnotin]

I wanted to share that the workaround works 👌thx! but of course, we're looking forward to have it as a normal attribute 😉 If that helps: in similar cases, @baywet created an ICM for the graph team https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-beta-sdk-java/issues/499#issuecomment-1934245633

[baywet]

Thanks for the nudge: deletedDateTime is already available as a property on directoryObject (parent type)

I have created an ICM on the relevant team about this. https://portal.microsofticm.com/imp/v5/incidents/details/558471350/summary

@Ndiritu can you go subscribe to it please as I'll be out of office soon, I'd like you to follow up on it.

[cnotin]

deletedDateTime is indeed available (updated my original report)

Merci Vincent :)

[cnotin]

Hello, did you get an update on the ICM please?

[baywet]

No updates from them, can you please open support tickets and mention the ICM id there so the support team chases after them? 558471350

[cnotin]

Support ticket open: #‎2503181420004022‎ with the ICM ID mentionned I'll let you know how it goes ;)
