The GetDetails function is marked as async; the AJAX success callback function is not.

Rather than using a callback function, you can simply await the $.ajax function:

JavaScript

async function GetDetails(id) {
    var data = await $.ajax({
        url: "/url",
        data: { id: id },
        dataType: "json",
        type: "GET"
    });
    
    // Do stuff with the returned data here...
}
