Question

Metadata disappears and error 9066 on populated fields

I'm running into a few issues when I test out a workflow. One is that I fill in a non-required metadata field with an option from the drop down list, but when the workflow runs, the metadata gets erased and the template no longer shows my selection.

The other issues are that when looking at the workflow details after the process runs, I get this error on date:

The data assigned to field 'Date' is not valid. 9017 [Bad field value. [9017]] [0265-WF10]

And this error for the other required fields that have metadata in them (e.g. department):

The data assigned to field 'Department' is not valid. 9066 [One or more required fields were omitted or had a blank value. [9066] [Department]] [0265-WF10]

I know something isn't right with my workflow, but I don't know what exactly is going on. I checked the template field setup and nothing appears to be wrong. I'm new to workflow, so still learning to troubleshoot.

Just so we're all on the same page: you've specified values for those fields in this Assign Field Value activity and then republished the workflow?

Hey Katie,

One thing to make sure of is that if you're using tokens, making sure to pass in the correct types to your fields. For example, when filling out the date field, make sure the token is actually a date, and if using an activity like Assign Token Values, making sure you're casting the token as a date itself. Also make sure if you're filling in dropdowns with tokens, you're using the exact name of the value you want.

If you're still having issues, you can attach a picture of your Workflow and assign field values so we can do more troubleshooting.

I don't have any tokens in my WF setup right now. Attached are screenshots of my workflow, template, and metadata. The errors I get for Invalid data still don't make sense to me based on the template setup and my metadata values. Thanks for your help!

I filled out all required fields in the template metadata and I continue to get the 9066 error on Department, Quantity, Test-Email address, and Test-Status.

That was definitely the issue, I'm clearly new to this! Thanks for your help!
