Creating a patient with rest failure

Implementing
1

I am trying to create a patient using REST. I am using Ref App 2.8.0. The error message I get does not really help me (attributes on class org.openmrs.Person), as I do not know which attribute is wrong, or what I should include to make them correct.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My JSON payload is (with sole filed values replaced by ‘******’ for privacy reasons).

{'identifiers': [{'identifier': 1797381,
                  'identifierType': '8d79403a-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f',
                  'preferred': True}],
 'person': {'addresses': [{'address1': 'Tansen NP',
                           'address2': '9',
                           'cityVillage': 'Damkada',
                           'countyDistrict': 'Palpa',
                           'preferred': True,
                           'stateProvince': 'State 5'}],
            'attributes': [{'attributetype': '3fa26888-97ba-41e6-8b4c-0db50ca67b79',
                            'value': 'Brahmin'},
                           {'attributetype': '8010bc28-127d-469b-a403-8a0e74e6f918',
                            'value': '******'},
                           {'attributetype': '2c7bffca-1ed1-43fe-8a85-896632d3c003',
                            'value': 'Son'},
                           {'attributetype': '14d4f066-15f5-102d-96e4-000c29c2a5d7',
                            'value': '0'}],
            'birthdate': '1961-02-25',
            'birthdateEstimated': True,
            'gender': 'F',
            'names': [{'familyName': '******', 'givenName': '******'}]}}

My response is

This is caused by the fact that, for the property name, you are using attributetype instead of attributeType
