Suggested Fixes​

  • Remove the inline schema definition and relocate it to the definitions section.
  • Define the inline schema globally in the definitions section with a unique name. Then reference it using $ref in your current object with a path like '#/definitions/<global name>'.
  • The schema being discriminated i.e. the Schema Object containing the discriminator property should not be an inline schema.
  • When using allOf constructs with the discriminator, the schemas in these constructs must not be inline schemas.
