Error message

[Table(${table.name})]: Field '${key}' is not defined but set in entity.

What it means

A DataTypeShouldMatch validator case for unknown fields: the else-branch fires when data contains a key that has no corresponding field in table.schema, i.e. the entity payload sets a property the table never defined. The faulting input is the extra key in the data object; the message names the table and the unrecognized field.

Solutions

1. Remove the undefined field from the entity; only schema-declared fields may be set.
2. Add the field to the table schema if it is intentionally stored.
3. Check for typos in the field name or stale data from an older schema version.
