Passing the entityType/Entity Name as a parameter to a form

Hi,

I'm trying to pass 3 parameters from a JS script when I press a ribbon button.

I've created 3 parameters on the form as per the below screenshot:

For the entity_name parameter I selected type of "EntityType", case_id is "UniqueId" and case_name is "SafeString".

I passed the parameters and console logged everything and the ID and name logs fine but the entity type seems to throw a script error without telling me what the error is.

So the script which is calling the navigateto method and passing the parameters through:

function openDialogue(executionContext) {

    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var caseName = formContext.getAttribute("title").getValue();


    var param = {
    case_id:formContext.data.entity.getId().slice(1, -1),
    entity_name: "incident",
    case_name: caseName
    };


    var pageInput = {
        pageType: "entityrecord",
        entityName: "task",
        formId: "cba9b356-6a70-4513-826f-f6b0bd3hf21c",
        data: param
    };
    var navigationOptions = {
        target: 2,
        height: {value: 80, unit:"%"},
        width: {value: 70, unit:"%"},
        position: 1
    };
    Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInput, navigationOptions).then(
        function success(result) {
                console.log("Record created with ID: "   result.savedEntityReference[0].id   
                " Name: "   result.savedEntityReference[0].name)
                // Handle dialog closed
        },
        function error() {
                // Handle errors
        }
    );
        
    }

and the script which console logs the value. It's from a ribbon button. As I said the other 2 parameters seem to log fine but the entityType/ name doesn't seem to log:

function logConsole(primaryControl) {
    var formContext = primaryControl;
    var caseIdPassed = formContext.data.attributes.get("case_id").getValue().slice(1,-1);
    var caseName = formContext.data.attributes.get("case_name").getValue();
    var caseEntityName = formContext.data.attributes.get("entity_name").getValue();
    console.log(caseEntityName);
    
}
