Error 'bad field names' when you import Person Accounts

Date de publication: Aug 21, 2024
Description

When you import Person Accounts, you might see the following error message:

Account: bad field names on insert/update call: Name
Résolution
While Person Accounts are technically Accounts, they share many features with the Contact object, specially the naming convention.

This means that Person Account names consist of First Name and Last Name. 

When you create or edit Person Account records, your .csv file must include 'First Name' and 'Last Name' columns. Mapping these fields to the Name field will result in the error above, since this field is used for the 'Business Account' record type.
