Summary0004266: createPatch: 'zone' not mentioned as source type
DescriptionWhen using createPatch, the user can set 'constructFrom' to either "set", "patch", or "zone". However, if none of these three options is specified, OpenFOAM gives the following error message:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Invalid source type abc
Valid source types are 'patches' 'set'

It does not state 'zone' as a possible source type, although it is explicitly used in the tutorials and mentioned in the user guide.
Steps To ReproduceUse any tutorial case (for example 'fluid/hotRoomComfort') and misspell the option for 'constructFrom'.
