Why am I getting "Error submitting Manual JSON The input was incompatible." on every manual JSON input?

I am trying to add CanFulfillIntentRequest to my app and when I enter the manual JSON to test it I get the message "Error submitting Manual JSON The input was incompatible."

To me this would indicate that somehow what I am not giving it is not formatted correctly. But I copied it directly from the example test on: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/implement-canfulfillintentrequest-for-name-free-interaction.html#create-the-json-for-testing-your-skill

I have also tried using the alexa simulator and copying the input JSON from there and no matter what I input, I get that same message. Is there something broken with Manual JSON input? I haven't found anyone else posting that they even get this message.

Hello @Ashwini and thank you for your message.

From the json you shared, it looks like the 

context.System.user.userId

is not in the correctly format. It should look like this:

amzn1.ask.account.AGZM7BEGCZWJZ6Q2DDMMTACGNUU6VGOE4Y6VAH4WDZPY

Barry

Hello @Nafs,

I searched for the skill ID you provided but could not find any. Can you please verify if that is the correct one?
