8. FAQs
Unable to Create Opportunity via Automation
- Issue: Why am I getting the following error message when I try and create an opportunity via automation – “Duplicate detection engine failed marked opportunity duplicate but failed to return conflicted Opportunity Id. Failure message: field value for field name: ‘mx_custom_19’ of datatype: ‘String’ is mandatory”.
- Root Cause: The issue occurs because the option to Enable comments on status change is enabled in the Opportunity type configuration. Due to this, the ‘Comment’ field which is “mx_custom_19” is mandatory, and you must add a comment when changing the status of the opportunity. “mx_custom_19” is a system-reserved field used to capture comments on stage changes under “Opportunity Status.”
- Solution: To resolve the issue –
- Provide a value for the ‘Comment’ field while creating the opportunity through automation.
- If you don’t want to mandate comments on status changes for the opportunity, disable the Enable comments on status change setting for the Opportunity Type.
