list data validation failed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hi everyone,

I am new to this --

I'm trying to create this flow that when someone submits a form, I get an email and an item gets created in a Sharepoint list. However, I keep getting this "List data validation failed." error when I test my flow. I don't have any validation piece set up for the flow. Any idea what might have caused this?

 

ps. I've tried to recreate the create item part a few times already. didn't help... 

 

Thanks!

Wendy

    Are there any data validation settings on the columns in the SharePoint list?  Check each column in the list for settings in this area.

    Hi

    I have the same issue and there is nothing in data validation.

    Need to note, that problem exists only in specific period of time (till 10:00 am) and then it works fine.

    Did you ever get this issue resolved? I'm having the exact same issue - no data validation in any of the columns and only one of my users so far is receiving an error when trying to enter a new line. I've even gone through and edited then resaved all the columns to ensure there's no validation in any of them so I'm now at a loss.

    Hello gregoryk,

    I have similar issue. My form response is generated in the list via flow, but then at a specific time it starts showing  "List data validation failed" Did you manage to find out the solution to this?

    Hello there,

    I encountered the same error today, after I introduced the data validation on my main column, "S/N".

    My flow basically generates a custom document after you create a new element in a list, and this next part was the one giving the error.

    The "Create File" part returned "Error 400: bad request", and wrote something about "List data validation".

     

    The column "S/N", which is the only one that has data validation, can be found in the List, where the user inserts some values like the S/N in question, in the Document library where I was generating the new files, and in the template I was using as a base for the documents.

    I really wanted the data validation on this field so I refused to remove it from the input section, which is the List, but I solved the problem by removing it from the Document Library and the Template.

     

    Because the "S/N" Site Column is the same for all of my elements (Document Library, Template & List) the data validation was uploaded on all three.

    Make sure you only remove the data validation where you don't need it, so everywhere except the input forms!

     

    Hope this can help someone 🙂

    This was my resolution when receiving the (Error Action '%Update_Item%' failed List data validation failed)( "statusCode": 400) error.

     

    Once I cleared my (%List Name% / Settings / Validation settings / Formula) my flow progressed.
