Graph API response field format mismatch with SDK object field format

Describe the bug

The field in question is for Conditional Access Policies (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/identity/conditionalAccess/policies): conditions.authenticationFlows.transferMethods. When specified in a policy, the graph API returns this field as a comma-separated string, e.g. "transferMethods": "deviceCodeFlow,authenticationTransfer". When parsed by this SDK in this format, ConditionalAccessPolicy.conditions.authentication_flows.transfer_methods get's incorrectly set to an empty array ([]).

The SDK expects the value of this field to be an array, rather than a comma-separated string. The following code demonstrates the incorrect and desired behaviors:

from kiota_serialization_json.json_parse_node import JsonParseNode
from msgraph_beta.generated.models.conditional_access_policy import ConditionalAccessPolicy

json_data = {
  "displayName": "Test Device Code & Authentication Transfers",
  "state": "enabled",
  "conditions": {
    ...
    "authenticationFlows": {
      "transferMethods": "deviceCodeFlow,authenticationTransfer"
    }
  },
  ...
}

msgraph_sdk_obj = JsonParseNode(json_data).get_object_value(ConditionalAccessPolicy())
# msgraph_sdk_obj.conditions.authentication_flows.transfer_methods == []

fixed_json_data = {
  ...
  "conditions": {
    ...
    "authenticationFlows": {
      "transferMethods": ["deviceCodeFlow", "authenticationTransfer"]
    }
  },
  ...
}

fixed_msgraph_sdk_obj = JsonParseNode(fixed_json_data).get_object_value(ConditionalAccessPolicy())
# fixed_msgraph_sdk_obj.conditions.authentication_flows.transfer_methods == [
#   <ConditionalAccessTransferMethods.DeviceCodeFlow: 'deviceCodeFlow'>,
#   <ConditionalAccessTransferMethods.AuthenticationTransfer: 'authenticationTransfer'>
# ]

The following screenshot shows that the API returns it in the comma-separated string format:

So the issue still exists when using the msgraph-sdk API request instead of the JSON parser. e.g.

from msgraph_beta.graph_service_client import GraphServiceClient

GraphServiceClient(...).identity.conditional_access.policies.by_conditional_access_policy_id('conditionalAccessPolicy-id').get()

And in the Entra UI it looks like the following:

I don't know whether this bug should be fixed in this SDK or in the Graph API itself.

Expected behavior

msgraph_sdk_cap_obj: ConditionalAccessPolicy

msgraph_sdk_cap_obj.conditions.authentication_flows.transfer_methods ==
[
  <ConditionalAccessTransferMethods.DeviceCodeFlow: 'deviceCodeFlow'>,
  <ConditionalAccessTransferMethods.AuthenticationTransfer: 'authenticationTransfer'>
]
# not []

Other information

No response

Reproduza a incompatibilidade com JsonParseNode, ConditionalAccessPolicy e os valores de exemplo de transferMethods e, em seguida, compare-a com o caminho da requisição de GraphServiceClient. Rastreie como conditions.authenticationFlows.transfer_methods é analisado quando a API retorna uma string separada por vírgulas; considera-se concluído quando o SDK expõe os métodos retornados como a lista esperada de enums ConditionalAccessTransferMethods.
