Hello everyone,

Does anyone have practical experience with updating a field in a SharePoint list?

I have tried this tutorial.

Unfortunately I get the error message Update List Item: Code: invalidRequest Message: Invalid request.

The error is issued by the Update List Item activity.

Updating only one field in the item does not work either.

Package: UiPath.MicrosoftOffice365.Activities

Can you share your workflow or error screenshot?

I can post the screenshots.
To reduce the sources of errors I have not made any changes to the item and only want to update. I have also tried the case with changed data.

Hi @Kytyzow ,
Haven’t been able to reproduce the same error. But maybe we can filter out some of the potential causes :

  • What is the 15th field about? What is the column type ?

  • Is the error reproduceable for other fields and with other values assigned?

  • As it is not visible on the screenshot, can you please confirm that in the “Assign” box you wrote ‘ListItem.Fields(15).Value’ ? or is a different input?

  • Can you please confirm your user has the permissions to edit the list items’ fields?

  • What package version do you use?

Thank you.

What is the 15th field? What is the column type?

  • It is a text field

Is the error reproducible with other fields and with other assigned values?

  • The error is not field related

As it is not visible on the screenshot, can you please confirm that you have written the value “ListItem.Fields(15).Value” in the “Assign” field, or is it a different input?

  • ListItem.Fields(15).Value

Can you please confirm that your user has permission to edit the list item fields?

  • Yes, the user has the permission.

Which package version are you using?

  • 1.11.1

Also, the workflow of just updating without making a modification will result in an error.

Thanks

Hi. I’m currently getting the same error ‘Invalid Request’ when trying to use the ‘Update List Item’ activity. To narrow things down I removed the activities that update the list item object locally and am just trying to update the original list item with its original values. Still getting this error. Any suggestions? I’m using version 1.11.1 of the activities.

Has anyone got a solution or workaround regarding this topic? Also facing the same problem

Hello, I am currently getting the same error. Unfortunately I don’t have a solution, but I do have an idea as to what the problem might be.
In my sharepoint list there is a field of type Choice. If this field is empty for the list element, the update works. If the field is not empty, the error occurs. And this happens even though I don’t change anything in this field in UiPath, but in a completely different field.
I suspect that this is because UI Path loads the complete list item and updates it during ‘Update List Item’, not just the field that has actually been changed. Something could go wrong here by loading and updating again.
Any ideas on how to work around this error?
