The record is created, though. Optaining a list of records works without error:

lexicon godaddy list "$domain" TXT --auth-key="$key" --auth-secret="$secret"

Let me know if you need further information.

I'm getting a similar error on 3.1.5 for all operations (except once I was able to create a record, now running the same command produces and error - having deleted the entry manually).

lexicon godaddy --auth-key key --auth-secret secret create "domain.net" A --name="sub.domain.net" --content="1.1.1.111"

I was getting 422 errors and went into Godaddy's API tools to test things out, for my domain that was giving me grief, I'm getting this error in my 422 response:

"At least two NS records must be specified in the request body"

After resolving all API validation errors. I'm really unsure how to resolve it (no mention of this in GoDaddy's docs) and my domain in question is using default nameservers from GoDaddy.

I'm getting the same kind of issues when trying to create MX and SRV records on godaddy.

I'm suspecting that this is related to the fact that Godaddy's API expects a specific priority fields for MX and SRV records (+ other keys for SRV), c.f. https://developer.godaddy.com/doc/endpoint/domains#/v1/recordReplaceTypeName

(Also Lexicon's test suite doesn't seem to validate that MX / SRV record creation does work for each provider?)

Just found out that, when there is a CNAME record for a subdomain, say for example, support.example.com to somesite.com, and you try to add an MX record for support.example.com to anything.com, I am seeing 422 unprocessable entity error.

I was able to do it applying these changes #1834
