Service connection creation error - "region, creationMode fields not expected" - SonarQube Server

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

I’m getting the following error when trying to create a new SonarQube Server service connection in Azure DevOps:

“Following fields in the service connection are not expected: region, creationMode. Only fields that are defined in the service connection’s contribution type as inputs can be specified.”

Environment details:

  • SonarQube Server version: 9.9.4 (build 87374), Developer Edition

  • Azure DevOps extension version: 8.2.1 (latest)

  • Service connection type selected: SonarQube Server (not Cloud)

  • Azure DevOps: cloud-hosted (Azure DevOps Services)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to Project Settings > Service Connections in Azure DevOps

  2. Click New service connection

  3. Select SonarQube Server from the list

  4. Enter Server URL and token

  5. Click Save — error appears

No service connection is created. Please advise on a fix or workaround.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Your version is past EOL. You should update to either the latest version or the current LTA (long-term active version) at your earliest convenience. Your update path is:

9.9.4 → 2025.1.4 → 2026.1.3 → 2026.3 (last step optional)
