Unable to create the "template" record using sdk.soap.js in Dynamics CRM

Question

Hi I am trying to create an email template record in Dynamics CRM using SDK SOAP.Below is my code

    var email_body = "ehhlo";
        var email_subject = $("#subject").val();
        var email_title = $("#title").val();

        var templateColumns = {
            "title": Sdk.String,
            "subject": Sdk.String,
            "languagecode": Sdk.Int,
            "templatetypecode": Sdk.OptionSet,
            "body": Sdk.String
        };

        var email = new Sdk.Entity("template");



        initializeEntity(email, templateColumns);

        email.setValue("title", email_title);
        email.setValue("subject", email_subject);
        email.setValue("languagecode", 1033);
        email.setValue("templatetypecode", 1);
        email.setValue("body", email_body);




        try {
            templateid= Sdk.Sync.create(email);
            alert("Created account with id: " + templateid);
        }
        catch (e) {
            throw new Error("Error on Create : " + e.message);
        }

I have tried creating using sync and async both but I got the error

An unexpected error occurred.

On capturing the logs using Fiddler I am getting the following response

    <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

Now can some one please point me what I am doing wrong and why this System.InvalidCastException is generating.

Thanks

It's erroring on the cast of templatetypecode which isn't an OptionSet you should be passing the entity name here (so you'd pass "account" instead of 1).
