Confusing error when creating a choice field on a list

[Midnighter]

There's an example for creating a choice field using the add_choice_field method, which adapted to a list looks like:

from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from tests import create_unique_name, test_client_credentials, test_team_site_url

client = ClientContext(test_team_site_url).with_credentials(test_client_credentials)
target_list = client.web.lists.get_by_title("My List")

field_name = create_unique_name("ChoiceField")

choices = ["Not Started", "In Progress", "Completed", "Deferred"]
field = target_list.fields.add_choice_field(title=field_name, values=choices).execute_query()

That example works completely fine for me, too. However, what confuses me is that when I want to use FieldCreationInformation I get a 400 Bad Request. This confuses me greatly, as the add_choice_field seems to do the same thing internally.

from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.fields.creation_information import FieldCreationInformation
from office365.sharepoint.fields.type import FieldType
from tests import create_unique_name, test_client_credentials, test_team_site_url

client = ClientContext(test_team_site_url).with_credentials(test_client_credentials)
target_list = client.web.lists.get_by_title("My List")

field_name = create_unique_name("ChoiceField")

choices = ["Not Started", "In Progress", "Completed", "Deferred"]
field = target_list.fields.add(FieldCreationInformation(field_name, FieldType.Choice, choices=choices)).execute_query()

This happens on Python 3.11 with version 2.5.10.

I found that this is also reported in #861 although that was using version 2.5.3 of the package.

Greetings,

thank you for catching this issue and providing the test case!

This issue has been addressed a new 2.5.11 version
