Invalid UpdateExpression: Incorrect operand type for operator or function; operator or function: list_append, operand type: M

Checkboxes for prior research

• I've gone through Developer Guide and API reference
• I've checked AWS Forums and StackOverflow.
• I've searched for previous similar issues and didn't find any solution.

Describe the bug

I have a scenario where I'm using a retry mechanism to update a DynamoDB item. The update fails with an Invalid UpdateExpression error, specifically: "Incorrect operand type for operator or function; operator or function: list_append, operand type: M."
I'm sharing a sample of what I’ve tried, but the result remains the same.

Regression Issue

• Select this option if this issue appears to be a regression.

SDK version number

@aws-sdk/lib-dynamodb@latest @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb@latest, @aws-sdk/utils-dynamodb@latest,

Which JavaScript Runtime is this issue in?

Node.js

Details of the browser/Node.js/ReactNative version

v22.16.0

Reproduction Steps

To reproduce this issue, I’ve attached a sample code snippet. Before running it locally, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

1. Node.js version: v22.16.0
2. AWS CLI profile: You must have an AWS profile configured with the role name 'test-admin'
3. Create 'TestTable' in the Dynamodb.
4. Dependencies: Ensure @aws-sdk/lib-dynamodb@latest is installed Once these are set up, you can execute the code locally via node index.mjs and it would create the item in the dynamodb.
5. Goto the table 'TestTable' and remove the ConcurrentWorkflows attribute from the item and TranscodingStatus as COMPLETE.
6. Again execute the code via node index.mjs and observe the issue.

Observed Behavior

After running npm install @aws-sdk/lib-dynamodb@latest and executing the code locally using the command node index.mjs, I encountered a ValidationException.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior when using the retry function with this command is that only ConditionalCheckFailedException should be thrown.
We do not want any other errors to be returned—only this specific exception should be surfaced during the retry scenario.

To achieve this expected result, make sure to install the specific version of the DynamoDB library:

npm install @aws-sdk/lib-dynamodb@3.777.0

Hi @tyagi-bhoopesh - thanks for reaching out.

I understand you uploaded a zip file but could you copy/paste your code snippet here? Could you also verify SDK versions installed and since you identified this as potential-regression, what was last working version?

Hi @aBurmeseDev
The last working version I used was 3.777.0.
