🐞 Description of the bug

Hello,

When trying to set state of arguments for adding a boundary layer, I get an issue of an endless " Illegitimate input at /AddBoundaryLayers/FaceScope;". Other things seem to run while this error is being outputted like volume meshing but the outputs get mixed in with the illegitimate inputs error.

For example the terminal looks like below:

Illegitimate input at /AddBoundaryLayers/FaceScope;

---

Diagnostics Scope : 1 Objects, 8 Face Zones, 0 Cell Zones
Objects : (elbow_volume)

Surface Diagnostics :

Total Number of Faces = 11208
Maximum Skewness = 0.4114
Maximum Aspect Ratio = 1.51
Number of Free Faces = 0
Number of Multi Faces = 384 --> found on 8 face zone(s)
Number of Self Intersections = 0
Number of Self Proximity = 0
Number of Point Contacts = 0
Number of Invalid Normals = 0

Illegitimate input at /AddBoundaryLayers/FaceScope;

📝 Steps to reproduce

watertight.add_boundary_layer.arguments.set_state({
                        "add_child": "yes",
                        "offset_method_type": "smooth-transition",
                        "bl_control_name" : fr"smooth_transition_{name}",
                        "region_scope": name,
                        "face_scope": {
                            "regions_type": 'named-regions',
                        }
                    })

Hello,

We have discovered the issue to be in face_scope and regions_type. They should be camel case instead of snake case. So should be FaceScope and RegionsType.

I will keep the issue open because endless loop of errors still seems to be a bug.

Thanks
