@ValeriyaMix do you have any update here?

Hi @dricazenck ,

I’m seeing a failing integration test in the pipeline, although it passes consistently on my local environment. I’ve tried a few approaches to resolve it but I haven’t been able to identify the root cause yet. Please could you advise on what might be causing the issue?

            Caused by: com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException at EmailTemplateControllerTest.java:50

Thanks in advance for your help.

Update: I have identified the issue and fixed the failing integration test.
