Pydantic expected a required field called contactEmail but
your input only contains:
{
"howToApply": "",
"applyLink": ""
}
Since Pydantic models define certain fields as mandatory, the validation fails → so your build fails.

Somewhere in your backend, you have a Pydantic model like:

class ApplicationInfo(BaseModel):
contactEmail: str # required
howToApply: str | None = None
applyLink: str | None = None

Fix 1: Make contactEmail optional in the Pydantic model

contactEmail: str | None = None

Fix 2: Ensure frontend ALWAYS sends contactEmail

{
"contactEmail": "",
"howToApply": "",
"applyLink": ""
}
Fix 3: Add Default in Model

contactEmail: str = ""
