Research direction

Start by tracing the site-creation request construction and how Tableau Server versions are handled; reproduce the failure against an older server with v0.15.0. Done means older servers no longer receive unsupported new site fields, while supported versions continue to create sites correctly.

Description

bug good first issue help wanted need test coverage Server-Side Enhancement wontfix

We had a report that v0.15.0 fails during site creation when using older Tableau Server versions. Workaround for now is to use v0.14.1 of TSC.

Main issue is that all the new site fields are added to the request body, but some of the new fields are not supported by older versions of Tableau Server.
