This problem occurs on a stable Ussuri Devstack. I issue this command to create a protected image:

$ openstack image create myimage2 --file ~/myvm1.qcow2 --disk-format qcow2  --protected

and get this error message back:

BadRequestException: 400: Client Error for url: http://192.168.1.200/image/v2/images, 400 Bad Request: On instance['protected']:: 'type': 'boolean'}: {'description': 'If true, image will not be deletable.',: 'True': Provided object does not match schema 'image': 'True' is not of type 'boolean': Failed validating 'type' in schema['properties']['protected']:

It seems that image creation fails because

'True' is not of type 'boolean'

'True' (capital T) is not a valid JSON boolean value, so if that's what's in the request JSON, it should fail schema validation.

Am I looking at a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Looks like a bug.

I do have a great workaround: First, create the image without the protected flag. Then:

$ openstack image set --protected myimage2

This works.

I suggest making both calls with the --debug option so you can compare the JSON being passed in the unsuccessful vs. the successful request. This will give you a better idea of whether the problem is client-side or server-side, and then you can file a bug with the appropriate project.
