Summary

Certain properties require that the value is from a predetermined set of values. If you are receiving this error response then you have given a value that is not within the permitted values.

For example, if you are attempting to create a Toil record on the Absences endpoint then you must ensure that the Reason property has a value of either Add or Use, otherwise you will receive this error response.
