The type of \"value\" is incorrect, expected type: Object

[pguardiario]

I'm trying to create an entry:

let ct = await environment.createContentTypeWithId('showcase', {
      name: 'Showcase',
      fields: [
        {
          id: 'title',
          name: 'Title',
          required: true,
          localized: false,
          type: 'Text'
        }
    ]
})

await ct.publish()

let entry = await environment.createEntry('showcase', {
      fields: {
        title: "testing"
      }
})

Can someone explain what the error message means and tell me the solution please?

Is this still an issue? Could you provide the error message you're getting if so?
Thanks!

I've also seen this error and it's probably the missing default-locale causing the issue. In terms of the CMA you need to be aware to provide the proper locales to make it work.
Providing the locale might fix it (en-US is assumed to be the default locale below):

let entry = await environment.createEntry('showcase', {
  fields: {
    title: 
      "en-US": "testing"
    }
})

to receive default locale you could do something like:

const locales = await env.getLocales()
const defaultLocale = locales.items.find(locale => locale.default)
// fallback to a "default default" or throw an error , whatever fits your needs
const localeCode = defaultLocale?.code || 'en-US';

let entry = await environment.createEntry('showcase', {
  fields: {
    title: 
      [localeCode]: "testing"
    }
})

Sadly, neither the legacy api environment.getLocales() nor the plain-interface client.locale.getMany() provides the possibility to filter default locale at request time - although the plain-api provides the query parameter, which is not working.

await client.locale.getMany({
    environmentId: "my-environment",
    spaceId: "my-space",
    query: {
        "default": true // won't work
    }
})
