Trouble Creating VM via API

bryonadams

I'm very new to doing things with APIs and running into this error. What exactly does "is an excess property and therefore is not allowed" mean as a response? Below is the body I'm sending via Bruno client. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, the docs were a bit of a struggle though.

Endpoint is https://xo.ducknet.org/rest/v0/pools/3c6777fc-e8d8-e065-7c30-37eb2800f472/actions/create_vm/

{
  "auto_poweron": true,
  "boot": false,
  "memory": 1073741824,
  "name_description": "test_desc",
  "name_label": "test_label",
  "template": "3ceb66f7-c137-ef4a-7a06-9af524ed5110"
}

Full response

        "memory": 1073741824,

      }
    }
  }

Question for @lsouai-vates for the XO team

It looks like if I exclude those three values it makes the VM. So maybe the better question is; if I'm taking these values from the template, am I not meant to override them? The description seems like an odd one to not be able to override if that's how it works.
