when i tried to create rule, the error message below is output.

```json
{
    "error": {
        "code": "ConstraintViolationError",
        "message": "The request is malformed.",
        "details": [
            {
                "code": "BodyMalformedError",
                "target": "type",
                "message": "Unrecognized field \"type\" (class v20190122.internal.st.behaviors.Operand), not marked as ignorable",
                "details": []
            }
        ]
    }
}

```

I know the approximate cause, but I don’t know what part to fix specifically. help please!

I found out why!  
rules api doesn’t support “type”.  
so i removed all “type” elements, then i receive “200 OK”! 🙂
