Message sent by the CVP team:

As part of qualifying the operator-sdk upgrade to v1.26.0 we re-test released bundles that have previously passed all CVP pipelines.

However, in re-testing jboss-eap-7-eap73-operator-bundle-container-2.1-35 we found a new failure with the upgraded operator-sdk:

http://external-ci-coldstorage.datahub.redhat.com/cvp/cvp-redhat-operator-bundle-image-validation-test/jboss-eap-7-eap73-operator-bundle-container-2.1-35/0e5b68a9-4df8-4c55-b066-9cce84f8d308/operator-metadata-linting-bundle-image-output.txt

The error message is

time="2023-01-24T17:38:18Z" level=error msg="Error: Field spec.preserveUnknownFields, Value 0xc0008b71f9: spec.preserveUnknownFields: Invalid value: true: cannot set to true, set x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields to true in spec.versions[*].schema instead"

The issue is caused by the WildFlyServer CRD that does not explicitly specify a spec.preserveUnknownFields field and use a default value of true.

This will require a change in the CRD as described in https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/deprecation-guide/#customresourcedefinition-v122 and a new release of the EAP Operator.
