Posted on by Consultant1

Hi,

 

I am seeing following error when try to create new item in SharePoint list. It is Multi Select Check box - 

 

The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: The API operation 'PostItem' requires the property to be a string of maximum length '255' but is of length '259' multi select checkbox

 

Can anyone help me here. Appreciate your help.

    @pydisuresh ,

     

    The message is self-explanatory. Behind the scenes, a Choice column's values are stored as concatenated text. The total limit for this is 255 characters, so if you have 50 choices, each one can only be 4-characters long on average
