Hi @pdurbin, it looks like the error is coming from this JS-Dataverse validator.
Not sure if that validation should be part of js-dataverse to be honest, it looks like more like a backend/api responsability.
Saying that, let me know if you need help debugging this.

@g-saracca well, if you can suggest a fix, that would be helpful, even if you don't code it up fully. There are three repos in play here. Is this bug report in the right one? 😄 Which line in which repo would you suggest looking at?

I would say, try commenting out line 32 and 33 here in js-dataverse repo, use that PR generated package version in your frontend branch and see what happens. I'm almost sure it's an error coming from that validator.
