KeyError: 'predictionType' when calling .get_settings() in BINARY_CLASSIFICATION task

Bruce_li

Hello,

I try to create 2 classification tasks using 1 dataset with different target column.

Work fine:

```mltask1 = project.create_prediction_ml_task(
input_dataset='Train',
target_variable='Label1',
ml_backend_type='PY_MEMORY', # ML backend to use
guess_policy='DEFAULT', # Template to use for setting default parameters
prediction_type='BINARY_CLASSIFICATION'
)```

Error:

```mltask2 = project.create_prediction_ml_task(
input_dataset='Train',
target_variable='Label2',
ml_backend_type='PY_MEMORY', # ML backend to use
guess_policy='DEFAULT', # Template to use for setting default parameters
prediction_type='BINARY_CLASSIFICATION'
)```

mltask2.wait_guess_complete()

mltask2.get_settings()

Error message:

```

   3840             else:

KeyError: 'predictionType'

Both target column's dtype are int64

Could someone help me?

Thank you!

Hi @Bruce_li
,

I was not able to reproduce the error that you are receiving, however, it seems that it may be an issue with the target variable. My suggestion would be to use the Visual ML console to train mltask2 and view the logs to see where it may be failing.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Best,

Jordan
