Here’s a sample response when getting my Object type via the API `{"id":98242,"applicationId":191360,"baseUris":[],"dataFetchUri":"xxx","title":"Test Data","propertyDefinitions":[{"dataType":"BOOLEAN","name":"total_calls","label":"Total Calls","dataType":"NUMERIC"},{"dataType":"BOOLEAN","name":"connected_calls","label":"Connected Calls","dataType":"NUMERIC"},{"dataType":"BOOLEAN","name":"total_notes","label":"Total Notes","dataType":"NUMERIC"},{"dataType":"BOOLEAN","name":"total_emails","label":"Total Emails","dataType":"NUMERIC"}],"associatedHubSpotObjectTypes":["CONTACT"],"associatedHubSpotObjectTypeProperties":{"CONTACT":["associatedObjectId","associatedObjectType"]}}` Each propertyDefinition contains 2 dataTypes. I have tried modifying the Object Type from their website and via the Modify Object type API but the BOOLEAN datatype is still added somehow. ---

Welcome, @jvdesu. Apologies for the delayed response. That’s strange, indeed. Are you still encountering this behavior? I haven’t been able to replicate the issue. When I call `extensions/sales-objects/v1/object-types/98242`, I receive the following: ```auto { id:98242, applicationId:191360, baseUris:[], dataFetchUri:"xxx", title:"Test Data", propertyDefinitions:[ { dataType:"NUMERIC", name:"total_calls", label:"Total Calls"}, { dataType:"NUMERIC", name:"connected_calls", label:"Connected Calls"}, { dataType:"NUMERIC", name:"total_notes", label:"Total Notes"}, { dataType:"NUMERIC", name:"total_emails", label:"Total Emails"}], associatedHubSpotObjectTypes:["CONTACT"], associatedHubSpotObjectTypeProperties:{ CONTACT:[ "associatedObjectId", "associatedObjectType"]}} ``` ---

Thank you for replying @IsaacTakushi ! Yes I am still having this error, [https://api.hubapi.com/extensions/sales-objects/v1/object-types/98242?hapikey=](https://api.hubapi.com/extensions/sales-objects/v1/object-types/98242?hapikey=ac7099fb-64fe-49ec-a0db-3237e599b515) ---

Hi, @jvdesu. Please don’t include your API key in posts on this public forum. I’ve edited the key out of your last message. I am still not getting those results… I clicked the link you provided and the following `GET` request rendered in my browser: ![What I see.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/b/5b75ed1f2eb8760f0fbf0c80e33b87b6f5546fa8.jpeg) How are you making these requests? Can you send me a screenshot of the response in your browser or in a REST client? (Please redact all sensitive information.) ---

Thank you @IsaacTakushi, We’ve just realized that the bug only occurs when openning the link in Chrome but not in firefox. ![Screen Shot 2019-03-29 at 12.46.47 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/2/a/2aa2b9921e5e1ee1c7c0b935f3290299996a3a9f.png) ---

Our real problem is that we’re getting a Response deserilization error and I’m only guessing that this is the one causing it. I’ve posted another question here [https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Response-deserialization-error/m-p/261927](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Response-deserialization-error/m-p/261927) Thank You! ---

Hey, @jvdesu. I’ve been able to reproduce this behavior in Chrome Incognito mode with my JSON viewer extensions disabled: ![Chrome Incognito - dataType NUMERIC.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/b/3bc108da0906af6cb14fbbe6f6219de2d0822750.jpeg) This seems to be more of a quirk with data formatting than an issue with HubSpot’s APIs. JSON viewers and REST clients remove the `"dataType":"BOOLEAN"` field. In Firefox, for example, you can compare the results of the _Raw Data_ tab: ![Firefox - Raw Data.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/9/8908bd448c9a3a4e5192409280e1c8b762a43233.jpeg) to those in the _JSON_ tab: ![Firefox - JSON.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/c/cc73a47425e640d69ef821e5ee9729ceeb58275f.jpeg) To this point, I’ve been seeing formatted JSON responses and those in REST clients. I do _not_ believe this formatting inconsistency is causing the “Response deserialization” error you report in [this post](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Response-deserialization-error/m-p/261927), however. When I retrieve an object type from my colleague @cbarley’s account, the `"dataType":"BOOLEAN"` field also appears in Chrome Incognito results, but does not trigger “Response deserialization” errors in his app: ![Chrome - Connor Test.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/b/3b40258580d4f67e34f18096d1e74fddcbb7915f.jpeg) ---

You are right @IsaacTakushi, this wasn’t the cause of the “Deserialization error” but due to the contents of my CRM response. Your solution on the other post has fixed it. Thank You for helping! ---

So glad I could help, @jvdesu!
