create_reply leads to validation errors

[maaisde]

I'm in the middle of migrating from the Bot Framework to the Microsoft 365 Agent SDK and noticed that the create_reply function isn't working, when I try to send a message as a reply to another message in Microsoft teams.
Library: microsoft-agents-activity/microsoft/agents/activity/activity.py --> create_reply

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/microsoft-agents-core/microsoft.agents.core.models.activity.activity?view=agent-sdk-python-latest
My implementation:

async def _reply_to_id(self, turn_context: TurnContext, text: str):
        original_activity = turn_context.activity
        reply_activity = Activity.create_reply(original_activity, text)
        await turn_context.send_activity(reply_activity)

Errors:

ValueError: 2 validation errors for ConversationAccount
