Create Build With Custom Container format example

Hey folks, I'm trying to post Create Build With Custom Container via powershell and I can't quite get the format correct. my json I will always return InvalidRequest, ValidationError.

 {
     "code": 400,
     "error": "InvalidRequest",
     "errorCode": 1071,
     "errorDetails": {
         "ValidationError": [
             "Error converting value \"[game_port,8080,TCP]\" to type 'PlayFab.WebAPIModels.Thunderhead.Port[]'. Path 'Ports', line 1, position 128."
         ]
     },
     "errorHash": "bf1ac2289080de30da4acbb68d258c97b6ec5e36bf2742a6a1c96d8d44155b13",
     "errorMessage": "Invalid JSON in request",
     "retryAfterSeconds": null,
     "status": "BadRequest"

Could someone provide me with an example of how to format the request correctly.

Many thanks.

If you want to create build with custom container via PowerShell, here is an example you can refer to:

 $vmSize = "Standard_D2as_v4"
 $ports = @( @{ Name = 'tcp_port'; Num = 8080; Protocol = 'TCP' }, @{ Name = 'udp_port'; Num = 8081; Protocol = 'UDP' } )
 $regions = @( @{ 'MaxServers' = 1; 'Region' = 'AustraliaEast'; StandbyServers = 1; 'ScheduledStandbySettings' = $NULL } )
 $containerImageReference = @{ ImageName = "MyLinuxContainerImage"; Tag = "0.2" }
    
 $buildResponse = New-PfBuild -BuildName ExampleBuild -ContainerFlavor CustomLinux -ContainerImageReference $containerImageReference -VMSize $vmSize -MultiplayerServerCountPerVM 1 -Ports $ports -RegionConfigurations $regions
    
 # All PlayFabMultiplayerApi cmdlets return objects, so we can pass the returned object to ConvertTo-Json for human readability.
 $buildResponse | ConvertTo-Json -depth 5
