Hey,
\n
I don't know if this is a bug, or a misunderstanding from me, but I have been struggling with this.
\n
Bug
\n
When creating a secret for an Azure AD app using add_password.post() and a PasswordCredential object, fields such as displayName, startDateTime, and endDateTime are silently ignored. The resulting secret is created with an empty name and a default expiration of 2 years.
\n
Steps to reproduce
\n
from msgraph.generated.models import PasswordCredential\n\nnow = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)\nend = now + datetime.timedelta(days=365)\n\ncred = PasswordCredential(\n    display_name=\"Secret Test 2025\",\n    start_date_time=now,\n    end_date_time=end\n)\n\nawait client.applications.by_application_id(app_id).add_password.post(cred)
\n
Expected behavior
\n
\n
Secret is created with displayName \"Secret Test 2025\"
\n
Secret expires on the specified endDateTime
\n
\n
Actual behavior
\n
\n
Secret is created with no name
\n
Secret expires 2 years from creation (default)
\n

Anyway too much time to answer, found a workaround using requests and not the trash SDK !
