QuickFIX/J: Unable to fetch the field from FIX message, although I can see its value

Question

I am unable to fetch the field 6610 from my request and get an error field is not found. I am using quickfix 2.1.1 library. Please help.

private KeyContext extractKeyContext(MarketDataRequest marketDataRequest) throws FieldNotFound {
        LOGGER.info("Inside extractKeyContext()");
        KeyContext keyContext = null;
        try {
            LOGGER.info("Inside extractKeyContext() with MarketDataRequest: {}", marketDataRequest);
            // request logged here is : 8=FIX.4.4__9=202__35=V__34=2__43=Y__49=K9__52=20240212-10:08:32.647__56=dh-dev__122=20240212-10:08:32.601__142=192.200.8.84__262=18271FFFFFFFF60E70616__263=1__146=1__55=GHJ__65=DRT__271=1__6610=3M__10=250__

            StringField time = (StringField) marketDataRequest.getField(new StringField(6610));
            LOGGER.info("time [{}]", time);
            
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LOGGER.error("Error while extracting keyContext:[{}],[{}],[{}]", e.getMessage(), e.getCause(), e.getStackTrace());

        }
        LOGGER.info("Inside extractKeyContext() - extracted keyContext [{}]", keyContext);
        return keyContext;
    }

Error:

You need to access the group to get the field. See https://www.quickfixj.org/usermanual/2.3.0/usage/repeating_groups.html

MarketDataRequest.NoRelatedSym group = new MarketDataRequest.NoRelatedSym();
FieldMap fieldMap = marketDataRequest.getGroup( 1, group );
fieldMap.getString(6610);
