Updating a subform lookup record through an external field in the associated module
  • Specify the external field's API name and its value in the lookup field JSON object of the Subform.

Possible Errors

  • INVALID_DATAHTTP 400

    The value of the external field is invalid.
    Resolution: Specify the correct external value.

  • INVALID_DATAHTTP 400

    The value of the external field is invalid for the lookup field.
    Resolution: Specify the correct external value.

  • INVALID_DATAHTTP 400

    The system expects product IDs in the input when you do not specify the external field header.
    Resolution: Include the correct external header when you use external fields in your request.

  • NOT_ALLOWEDHTTP 400

    You cannot update the external field using its own primary key in the request. For example, if extcontact1 is the value of the external field External_Contact_ID, then you cannot update the external field's value using itself (crm/v2/Contacts/extcontact1).
    Resolution: Use another external field or CRM's primary key to update an external field.
