Hello,
I am trying to load an Extension for a Contact, Change a Value then save it, but i am getting the Error in the title.
I found this (https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-dotnet/issues/1723) issue before, but there, a contact is loaded and then the Extension is changed.
In my case, i am loading the Extension and nothing else.
Expected behavior
not getting an error i guess?
How to reproduce
var extension = (await _graphClient.Me.ContactFolders["MyContactFolderId"].Contacts["MyContactId"].Extensions["MyExtension"].GetAsync()) as OpenTypeExtension;
extension.AdditionalData["MyProperty"] = "MyNewValue";
await _graphClient.Me.ContactFolders["MyContactFolderId"].Contacts["MyContactId"].Extensions["MyExtension"].PatchAsync(extension);

Research direction
Start with the reproduction in the issue using Microsoft Graph SDK .NET 5.54.0, focusing on loading an extension and then calling PatchAsync after changing AdditionalData. Trace the extension response and request handling to find why the abstract microsoft.graph.extension type is used. Done means the shown OpenTypeExtension flow patches the changed contact extension without the abstract-type error.
