SQL Server Not Finding Columns

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 167

I have a flow to insert rows into a db using the SQL Server connector. It was working fine before, but now, it displays this error message: 

Zap174_0-1651241374002.png

Where ContactID is the primary key in the table and I can see the column in the table itself so it is definitely present. If I follow the instructions and remove the field, this message appears: 

 

Flow save failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'item' validation failed in workflow operation 'Insert_row_(V2)_3': The API operation 'PostItem_V2' is missing required property 'item/ContactID'.'.
 
Requiring that I need to insert the field when writing the row. Which contradicts the other statement.
 
Is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced something like this?

    Hi there,

    It looks like it is a bug. I found previous posts from folks who tried to delete & recreate, and in the end, had to entirely recreate their flows.

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Field-is-no-longer-present-in-the-operation-schema-Flow-un/td-p/1301280

    This one has the same issue, but re: SP ... and an angry person, which is always fun.

    It also seems that if the properties are changed for the field, it can "disconnect", and needs to be reconnected.

    I hope something there will at least start us on the right path to resolution!

     

    Cheers,

    Hi @Rhiassuring 

     

    Thanks for the info! The bug seems to have been solved on my end. The unique identifier returned to the schema and everything works as planned.

    Awesome! Did it resolve over night or did you need to do anything to get the identifier back?
