Incorrect Argument Type when AddColumns to ShowColumns for Particular SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24

I am getting an "Incorrect argument type" error when adding columns after showing columns for a particular SharePoint list.

 

 

AddColumns(
 ShowColumns(conms_purchase_requests,
 "Title", "ID"
 ), 
 "Description", Title
);

 

 

The above gives the "Incorrect argument type" error. But I can do the individual AddColumns and ShowColumns individually without issue:

 

 

AddColumns(conms_purchase_requests,
 "Description", Title
);

ShowColumns(conms_purchase_requests,
 "Title", "ID"
);

 

 

I can also do the AddColumns with ShowColumns for a different SharePoint List and get no errors:

AddColumns(
 ShowColumns(conms_contracts_header,
 "Title", "ID"
 ), 
 "Description", Title
);

What kind of list setting could cause this issue?

    Recreating the SharePoint List seems to have resolved this issue. Buggy.
