  Correct Data Types: If you find that the property is defined with an invalid type, correct it to a valid EDM type. This may involve changing the data type in the underlying data model or in the service definition.
  Validate Mapping: If the property is being imported from a file or another system, ensure that the mapping is correct and that the data types in the source match the expected EDM types.
  Check for Typos: Look for any typographical errors in the property name or type definition that could lead to this error.
  Re-import or Refresh: After making the necessary corrections, try re-importing the file or refreshing the OData service to see if the error persists.
