Fixing Import Error: INVALID_TYPE_ON_FIELD_IN_RECORD

Publiceringsdatum: Apr 3, 2026
Beskrivning

If there are errors during your data import, a summary email is sent with the details in the attachment. A common error you may encounter in the summary email is INVALID_TYPE_ON_FIELD_IN_RECORD. This means the data type of the field you are importing into does not support the value you are attempting to import.

For example, importing a value of 2 into a checkbox field instead of 1 for checked values and 0 for unchecked values
