### Describe your issue
Hello everyone,
I am facing a persistent issue where my DynDNS update for my domain [xx.noho.st](http://xx.noho.st) fails with a KeyError: ‘value’. I have performed extensive troubleshooting, and the problem still persists, pointing to a deeper configuration issue.
1. Problem Description
When I run yunohost dyndns update --force, the operation fails with the following traceback:
Bash
Traceback (most recent call last):
…
File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/yunohost/dyndns.py”, line 499, in dyndns\_update
if record[“value”] == “@”:
KeyError: ‘value’
This error also occurs when I run other DNS-related commands.
I have discovered that the root cause is a missing file: `/etc/yunohost/dyndns/dyndns_conf.json`. This file does not exist, which causes the scripts to fail.
1. Troubleshooting Steps
I have already taken the following steps:
Confirmed my YunoHost version is 12.1.7.1.
Performed a reinstall of the core yunohost package using sudo apt install --reinstall yunohost.
Despite these fixes, the KeyError persists, and the DynDNS update cannot be completed.
1. Log File
Here is the log from the most recent failed DynDNS update:

I would appreciate any assistance in investigating this further. Thank you!

It’s a known issue in latest testing version, thanks for to info anyway 🙂
I think it’s already fixed and it will be fixed in next YunoHost update.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! It’s great to hear that the bug is a known issue and a fix is on the way.
I’ve got a quick question for you: Since the `dyndns update` command isn’t quite working for me yet—it thinks nothing needs to be updated even when my IP has changed—is there a way to **manually force** the IP to update in the meantime?
I just want to make sure my domain stays online until the bug fix arrives.
Cheers!

The log should be fixed in 12.1.9
