Missing Device attributes

[cnotin]

Describe the bug

The Device class https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-beta-sdk-java/blob/main/src/main/java/com/microsoft/graph/beta/generated/models/Device.java has several attributes missing in this SDK (and certainly others) compared to what's returned by the API:

• createdDateTime
• deletedDateTime (available, actually)
• externalSourceName
• sourceType

Here's the proof that they are returned by the API:

{
  "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#devices",
  "value": [
    {
      "id": "15b8b2c6-5056-412c-ad0f-4f06e0f140c2",
      "deletedDateTime": null,
[...}
      "createdDateTime": "2023-12-12T07:50:41Z",
[...]
      "externalSourceName": null,
[...]
      "sourceType": null,
[...]
    },

When using the PowerShell Graph SDK, they are available via AdditionalProperties
These are also not documented.

I suppose this is because the metadata of the Graph API doesn't return those. So the issue is similar to #838 and #499

Thanks for raising this issue @cnotin.

While we resolve the issue with the API service team. You can also use getAdditionalData() to get key-value pairs for the missing properties.

Minor sidenote: getDeletedDateTime is available on the Device model via inheritance.

[cnotin]

Thank you! We'll monitor this then ;)
And we noted the workaround.

[cnotin]

I wanted to share that the workaround works 👌thx!
but of course, we're looking forward to have it as a normal attribute 😉
If that helps: in similar cases, @baywet created an ICM for the graph team #499 (comment)

[baywet]

Thanks for the nudge: deletedDateTime is already available as a property on directoryObject (parent type)

I have created an ICM on the relevant team about this. https://portal.microsofticm.com/imp/v5/incidents/details/558471350/summary

@Ndiritu can you go subscribe to it please as I'll be out of office soon, I'd like you to follow up on it.

deletedDateTime is indeed available (updated my original report)

Merci Vincent :)
