hello, I am trying to a make a poll post and put the poll id in the data and I got this  
{  
“status”: “error”,  
“message”: “Parameters validation error!”,  
“code”: 500000,  
“data”: {  
“detail”: [  
“The ‘attachments[0].type’ field does not match any of the allowed values.”  
]  
}  
}

$data = [  
“data” =\> [  
“text” =\> $caption ?? “”,  
“streamId” =\> “”,  
“pollId” =\> $dataFromPoll[0][‘pollId’],  
“dataType” =\>“poll”  
],  
“attachments” =\> [  
[  
“fileId” =\> “”,  
“type” =\> “poll”  
]  
],  
“targetType” =\> “user”,  
“metadata” =\> [  
“pollId” =\> null,  
“addonCaption” =\> $addonsCaption,  
“pdfData” =\> $pdfData,  
“externalLinks” =\> $externalLinks,  
“background\_photo” =\> null,  
],  
“postId” =\> Str::uuid(),  
“tags” =\> [  
“string”  
],  
“mentionees” =\> [  
[  
“type” =\> “user”,  
“userIds” =\> [

```
                ]
            ]
        ],
        "createdAt" => now()
    ];
    return json_encode($data);

```

so why the error?

```auto
“attachments” => [
[
“fileId” => “”,
“type” => “poll”
]
]

```

From your request, “type” =\> “poll” is not supported, as indicated by the error. For the attachment type, you can only choose from the available types, such as **image, file, or video**.

You can click on **schema** to see the structure of each field/api call:

Please also note that for poll post:

- When put `dataType` as `poll` and `pollId` in `data`, post will be created as poll post
- `attachments` will be ignored
- Poll info will be in `polls` object in response

Hello, have you tried creating poll post using postman? Are you facing the same error as you’re experiencing with your php request?
