Unsupported type: ${type}

Error message

Unsupported type: ${type}

What it means

Thrown by StudioDSLAdapter.validateDSLData as UnsupportedOperationException when the deep-read 'type' value of the Studio DSL is not 'workflow' (case-insensitive). Only workflow-type Studio exports are supported by this adapter; chatbot or other Studio app types are rejected outright.

Solutions

1. Set the DSL's 'type' field to 'workflow' (any casing) or export a workflow-type app from Studio
2. Confirm you are using StudioDSLAdapter only for Studio workflow exports
3. Verify the 'type' key exists at the expected path in the document (deep lookup may miss renamed/nested keys)
4. If you need to import a chatbot app, use the adapter matching that format

Example fix

// before
{"type": "chatbot", "config": {...}}

// after
{"type": "workflow", "config": {...}}

Object type = dslData.get("type");
if (!(type instanceof String t) || !"workflow".equalsIgnoreCase(t)) {
    throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Studio DSL must be of type 'workflow'");
}

boolean isStudioWorkflowDsl(Map<String,Object> dsl) { return "workflow".equalsIgnoreCase(String.valueOf(dsl.get("type"))); }

try { studioAdapter.importDSL(data); } catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) { log.error("Only Studio workflow-type DSL is supported: {}", e.getMessage()); throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: Importing a Studio DSL whose type field is 'chatbot', missing, or misspelled; MapReadUtil.getMapDeepValue returns null when 'type' is absent, also failing the equalsIgnoreCase check; passing a Dify or native agent DSL to the Studio adapter.

Common situations: Exporting a non-workflow app from Studio and trying to import it via the workflow adapter; hand-editing the type field; using the wrong adapter for the document format.

Understand the failure class

Background: Invalid enum value errors: "Unknown type", "Invalid scope", "must be one of" — when a string is not on the library's allowed list — this error's family across 23 libraries.
