@palakagrawal22 Hi, I've encountered the same issue as you with fields.

The problem is that you should not pass string into the list but MarkdownText or PlainText object.

I don't know what has changed (if Slack changed something...) but according to Slack reference, fields should be an array of text objects (in this package implementation SimpleText or MarkdownText):

fields: Required if no text is provided. An array of text objects. Any text objects included with fields will be rendered in a compact format that allows for 2 columns of side-by-side text. Maximum number of items is 10. Maximum length for the text in each item is 2000 characters.
Using simple string does not generate a text object.

@imryche I guess that simple string should be either converted into PlainText or it should be removed as valid type. I noticed that it has been added some time before.

Hey everyone who's encountered this issue. It should be fixed in the latest v1.8.3 release.

It would be great if you could provide the code you used to generate the UI.

its working for previous version 1.5.2

Can you please provide the output of the .build() method call, so I can investigate further?

also in context i have payload function as : payload = Modal(
title="label",
callback_id="input",
submit="Submit",
close="Cancel",
blocks=[
Input(
block_id="id1",
element=PlainTextInput(action_id="action"),
label="example",
),
Context(
block_id="id2",
elements=[f"Note:"]
)
],
).build()
return payload then output of payload ={'blocks': [{'block_id': 'id1', 'type': 'input', 'label': {'type': 'plain_text', 'text': 'example', 'emoji': True}, 'element': {'action_id': 'channel-rename-input-action', 'type': 'plain_text_input'}}, {'block_id': 'id2', 'type': 'context', 'elements': ['Note:']}], 'callback_id': 'input', 'type': 'modal', 'title': {'type': 'plain_text', 'text': 'label', 'emoji': True}, 'close': {'type': 'plain_text', 'text': 'Cancel', 'emoji': True}, 'submit': {'type': 'plain_text', 'text': 'Submit', 'emoji': True}} getting error The server responded with: {'ok': False, 'error': 'invalid_arguments', 'response_metadata': {'messages': ['[ERROR] failed to match all allowed schemas [json-pointer:/view]', '[ERROR] must provide an object [json-pointer:/view/blocks/1/elements/0]']}}
