Acknowledgements

• I have searched (https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk/issues?q=is%3Aissue) for past instances of this issue
• I have verified all of my SDK modules are up-to-date (you can perform a bulk update with go get -u github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/...)

Describe the bug

The field IsDefault (added in connect@v1.116.0, Release 2024-11-18) in the connect service's ContactFlow struct has Go type bool:

aws-sdk-go-v2/service/connect/types/types.go

The upstream service is incorrectly serializing this field as a string

, causing runtime errors:

deserialization failed, failed to decode response body with invalid JSON, expected Boolean to be of type *bool, got string instead

See hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#40267.

Regression Issue

• Select this option if this issue appears to be a regression.

Expected Behavior

The DescribeContactFlow API call should succeed with the correct value for IsDefault returned.

Current Behavior

Runtime deserialization error.

Reproduction Steps

	input := &connect.DescribeContactFlowInput{
		ContactFlowId: aws.String(contactFlowID),
		InstanceId:    aws.String(instanceID),
	}

	output, err := conn.DescribeContactFlow(ctx, input)

Hi @ewbankkit ,

Thanks again for the speedy report. I have engaged with the Connect team and they are working on a way to mitigate this ASAP.

All the best,
Ran~

Hi @ewbankkit,
just let you know that service team has fixed this deserialization issue now. IsDefault is an internal property for now and was accidentally released, so the fix is just to un-release that change
