options in kea can be defined in kea standard space dhcp4 and dhcp6 or custom spaces e.g.:

"option-def": [
  {
    "array": false,
    "code": 242,
    "encapsulate": "",
    "name": "dls",
    "record-types": "",
    "space": "XYZ",
    "type": "string"
  }
],

But Kea accept custom spaces only on global level, returns error with this configuration:

client-classes": [
    {
        "option-def": [
            {
                "encapsulate": "339", 
                "code": 43, 
                "type": "empty", 
                "name": "vendor-encapsulated-options"
            }, 
            {

                "space": "339", 
                "type": "uint32", 
                "record-types": "", 
                "array": false, 
                "encapsulate": ""
            }, 
            {

                "array": false, 
                "encapsulate": ""
            }
        ],

        "option-data": [

            }
