selectedDateFilter must be one of: #

Error message

selectedDateFilter must be one of: #{VALID_DATE_FILTERS.join(", ")}

What it means

The course work widget's "selectedDateFilter" must be a String in VALID_DATE_FILTERS ("not_submitted", "missing", "submitted"). validate_course_work_filters! raises this GraphQL::ExecutionError for any other value or non-string type.

Solutions

1. Use exactly one of "not_submitted", "missing", or "submitted"
2. Check VALID_DATE_FILTERS in app/graphql/mutations/update_widget_dashboard_config.rb for the current allowed list
3. Sync the client-side filter enum with the server constant

Example fix

// before
filters: { "selectedDateFilter": "late" }
// after
filters: { "selectedDateFilter": "missing" }

const VALID = ["not_submitted", "missing", "submitted"];
if (filters.selectedDateFilter !== undefined && !(typeof filters.selectedDateFilter === "string" && VALID.includes(filters.selectedDateFilter))) {
  throw new Error(`selectedDateFilter must be one of: ${VALID.join(", ")}`);
}

const isDateFilter = (v) => typeof v === "string" && ["not_submitted","missing","submitted"].includes(v);

When it happens

Trigger: Sending filters["selectedDateFilter"] = "late", "all", "NOT_SUBMITTED", an array, or null for the course work widget.

Common situations: Client enum drifted from the server allowlist; using date-range strings (e.g. "last_week") that this widget does not support; case sensitivity.

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.
