Description
Describe the bug
Hello,
I'm trying to retrieve some Entra ID directory extensions from users using the Graph SDK. It works with normal strings, but if I have an array as data type, it just displays an empty object.
If I use the following code block:
var me = await graphClient.me.GetAsync(requestConfiguration =>
{
requestConfiguration.QueryParameters.Select =
new string[] { "Id", "extension_c4eaf7e0c68a468c8a93aa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber", "extension_c4eaf7e0c68a468c8a93aa91dc1cdf8e_info" };
});
I receive:
{
"AdditionalData": {
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users(id,extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber,extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_info)/$entity",
"extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber@odata.type": "#Collection(String)",
"extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber": {},
"extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_info": "11 IT 04 Anwendungsdienste - Kollaboration"
},
"BackingStore": {
"InitializationCompleted": true,
"ReturnOnlyChangedValues": false
},
"Id": "c959de31-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-276f63552369",
"OdataType": "#microsoft.graph.user"
}
Expected behavior
I expect all the values to be displayed as if I go directly to the HTTP API.
URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me?$select=id,extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber,extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_info
Output:
{
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#users(id,extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber,extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_info)/$entity",
"id": "c959de31-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-276f63552369",
"extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber@odata.type": "#Collection(String)",
"extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber": [
"E.6.160"
],
"extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_info": "11 IT 04 Anwendungsdienste - Kollaboration"
}
How to reproduce
var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(credential, scopes);
var me = await graphClient.Me.GetAsync(requestConfiguration => {
requestConfiguration.QueryParameters.Select = new string[] { "Id", "extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_roomNumber", "extension_c4eaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxaa91dc1cdf8e_info" };
});
Console.WriteLine(JsonSerializer.Serialize(me!));

Research direction
Start with the GraphServiceClient.Me.GetAsync reproduction in the issue and compare behavior between SDK versions 5.46.0 and 5.78.0. Trace how the selected extension field marked #Collection(String) is deserialized into AdditionalData. Done means the SDK preserves the returned string array instead of producing an empty object.
