Posted on by 2

HI I am trying to change the key field from an integer to an auto number. I have removed all the data from the entity.

 

When I just try to change it I get this message:

Couldn't complete the database request due to 1 errors, please try again. If you see this message again, share the error ID with PowerApps support: baa8b5d8-62ce-41c4-8974-b5da6f23157a

 

When I delete the field and enter in a new one with autonumber I get this:

Couldn't complete the database request due to 1 errors, please try again. If you see this message again, share the error ID with PowerApps support: c928779f-b056-4afb-8ede-994c013d967c

    Hi @Dave1,

     

    Which key field that you would like to switch to anto number?

    There are some system default fields which can't be modified, make sure you have followed the article below to work with entity fields:

    Manage custom fields

     

    Besides, if possible, please share a screenshot of the field you mentioned, I will try if I could reproduce that from my side.

    Further, for urgent support, please consider submit a support ticket at the bottom of the Support page:

    Regards,
