InstanceId is not a string

[Oggie23]

We did an update of our IxNetwork client and Chassis and we're now getting an error when updating the traffic config stack field. The version is 9.20.2112.6.

Using the example code in the Readme:

destination_mac = traffic_config.Stack.find(StackTypeId='ethernet').Field.find(FieldTypeId='ethernet.header.destinationAddress')
destination_mac.update(ValueType='valueList', ValueList=['00:00:fa:ce:fa:ce', '00:00:de:ad:be:ef'], TrackingEnabled=True)

The line where we update the destination_mac is throwing the following error:

System.Exception: InstanceId is not a string

It seems like InstanceId (whatever that is) was a string before, but not anymore?

@Oggie23 This bug is fixed in 9.20 Update 2 and above. Can you apply the 9.20 Update 3 and try the script again?

[Oggie23]

Ohhh! In that case, I have to wait for new license in order to apply Update 3. I will update as soon as possible and post results. Thanks!

@ajbalogh we are on Web Platform 9.21.2.3 and we are seeing this bug.

UPDATE: and IxNetwork Web Edition 9.20.2201.62

I don't see updates available for Web Platform, but I do see an update available for Web Edition. Is that what we need to update?

I don't see updates available for Web Platform, but I do see an update available for Web Edition. Is that what we need to update?

@cruise-bryan-murdock Yes the web edition is what needs to be updated.
