MS Bookings API - Can't create staff member using MS Bookings API

Hi Henry

I had a call with a member of the Microsoft Graph Team, she could reproduce the issue and it will be escalated within the Graph Team. It looks like the documentation is wrong and needs to be changed.

The request for the endpoint staffMembers is not sufficient like it is on the documentation at the moment (9.11.23):

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/solutions/bookingBusinesses/{id}/staffMembers
Authorization: Bearer {access token}
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "displayName":"Dana Swope",
    "emailAddress": "email address removed for privacy reasons",
    "role": "externalGuest"
}

This will result in the following error response:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "ErrorInvalidOperation",
        "message": "Cannot create a booking staff without name and email.",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2023-11-09T16:05:42",
            "request-id": "fef2d375-6ff7-4b58-892d-92e7560b98fe",
            "client-request-id": "fef2d375-6ff7-4b58-892d-92e7560b98fe"
        }
    }
}

To workaround this problem you can use the longer Request from the documentation here.
