Hello Rob,

You are encountering the following problem: 
https://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/11336

This problem should have been corrected if your Rudder server is in 
version 4.1.7 and the corresponding technique library was updated.

Please note that you have to do the technique upgrade as documented 
here: https://www.rudder-project.org/doc-4.1/_technique_upgrade.html

Hope it helps,
