Creating new user types in SB

[vinod303]

Context:
For a SB tenant, we need to setup different User Types / Personas (instead of Student, teacher etc..)

1. I have created those new User Types using the form Create APIs
   example of new User Types: Farmer, FLW etc..

2. Following is the output of form read api after the previous step

   // "result": { "form": { "type": "config", "subtype": "userty pe", "action": "get", "component": "portal", "framework": "*", "data": { "templateName": "userType", "action": "get", "fields": [ { "code": "public", "name": "Public", "label": "frmelmnts.lbl.public", "visibility": true, "image": "guest-img1.svg", "index": 0, "searchFilter": [ "Public" ] }, { "code": "farmer", "name": "Farmer", "visibility": true, "label": "frmelmnts.lbl.farmer", "image": "guest-img2.svg", "index": 1, "searchFilter": [ "Public", "Farmer" ] }, { "code": "flw", "name": "Field Level Worker", "index": 3, "visibility": true, "label": "frmelmnts.lbl.flw", "image": "guest-img5.svg", "searchFilter": [ "Public", "Farmer", "Field Level Worker" ] },

3. Now when I login as user, => click on Profile => Edit preferences, selected the Role as "farmer".
   And when try to save, the User Update Api returns the error
   "Invalid value farmer for parameter userType. Please provide a valid value."

Please help me understand, is there any other configuration needs to be done to make that work? Or is there any other places that i need to add the newly created roles?

Looks like it is being validated someplace, and failing. Is the same value reflecting for the forms during user onboarding as well?
@reshmi-nair can you pls check ?

@AmiableAnil nope. I am still having the same issue in 4.6.
But, noticed that it works in 5.x.
Not sure why this does not work in 4.6. Appreciate any input from you on this.

@vinod303 Probably you can try taking the relevant code from working version to 4.6 in your forked repo.
