Validator requires version property for observed-data about cti-stix-validator

[gtback]

@clenk, @ATweedMITRE: can one of you look at this?

[clenk]

'version' is not a property mentioned in the current spec. It is not a common property, an observed-data property, nor a reserved property. Thus it is considered a custom property, and isn't required, but isn't prohibited either.

Please let me know if my reading of the spec is incorrect.

Sorry, my bug report was incomplete. If you remove the version property, the stix validator says that it is a required property:

[-] Results for: observ.json
[X] STIX JSON: Invalid
[!] Warning: observed-data--7d69c058-034b-4769-9e7f-f7b080abf80d: {301} The Network Traffic object '0' should contain both the 'src_port' and 'dst_port' properties.
[X] observed-data--7d69c058-034b-4769-9e7f-f7b080abf80d: 'version' is a required property

So the validator is requiring you to add a custom property named version to pass.

Thank you for the clarification. This should have been fixed in oasis-open/cti-stix2-json-schemas@e5b4766. Can you verify that you are using the latest version of the schemas?

[jmgnc]

ok, looks like it was an out of date validator. I thought I had updated it, but clearly had not done it completely and/or correctly.

The validator uses the schemas as a submodule, so if you're working from the git repositories, maybe you updated the validator, but not the version of the schemas?
