Hi All,  
I have added weight to one of the web-item in a Jira connect app, but while installing it throwing the following error: 'The App descriptor failed to validate against the schema. … /webItems/0/weight: instance type(number) does not match any allowed primitive type(allowed :[Integer]).  
sample web-item configuration:  
“webItems”: [  
{  
“key”: “bulk-clone-item”,  
“url”: “/Bulk Example.html”,  
“location”: “jira.navigator.pluggable.items”,  
“weight”:30,  
“name”: {  
“value”: “Bulk Example”  
},  
“tooltip”: {  
“value”: “Bulk Example”  
},  
“icon”: {  
“url”: “/img/bulk-clone.svg”  
},  
“target”: {  
“type”: “dialog”,  
“options”: {  
“height”: “1px”,  
“width”: “1px”,

Hi @AshokChelimilla,

Does the descriptor validate when you remove the `“weight”:30,` line?

Thank you @dmorrow for your response.  
Yes. If the “weight”:30, line removed it’s allowing to install App in Jira cloud instance.

Thanks,  
Ashok

Hi @AshokChelimilla,

I can’t reproduce your issue. Are you sure the descriptor is well formed and there are no hidden/strange characters in it. Also, you can use [Connect Validator](https://atlassian-connect-validator.herokuapp.com/validate) to edit and validate the descriptor.

Hi @dmorrow,

Please refer below Connect.json which verified in [Connect Validator](https://atlassian-connect-validator.herokuapp.com/validate) but installation is failing by throwing the following error  
error message:  
he app descriptor failed to validate against the schema. Please confirm this app is intended for use with JIRA and then contact the app vendor.

- /webItems/0/weight: instance type (number) does not match any allowed primitive type (allowed: [“integer”])

Connect-Atlassian.json:

        "weight": 30,
        "name": {
            "value": "test test Plus"
        },
        "icon": {
              "url": "/img/test-clone.svg"
              },
              "target": {
                "type": "dialog",
                "options": {
                  "height": "1px",
                  "width": "1px",
                  "chrome": false
                }
              }
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

Note: Same connect JSON file is allowing to install after removing **“weight”: 30,** from it.

Ashok

Hi @AshokChelimilla,

I’ve created a simple public app to try to reproduce this. The descriptor is [https://dugaldmorrow.github.io/webitem-with-weight/jira-connect-descriptor.json](https://dugaldmorrow.github.io/webitem-with-weight/jira-connect-descriptor.json). Can you try installing this to see if it works for you like it does for me.

Regards,  
Dugald

Hi @AshokChelimilla,

Are you still having this issue. Did my test app help?
