Understand messages about wrongly filled fields
How to do it
- Find the field named in the message: the app always names it by the label on the screen.
- Correct the value the way the message asks.
- Save again.
When it is available
- These messages are the same in every section: they are about filling in a form, not about running the farm.
Important
- An ellipsis in the message text marks the place where the field name or the limit is put in: on the screen the real value stands there.
If you see a message
- «Field "…" is required» - the field must be filled in.
- «Field "…" must be a number» - a number is expected in the field.
- «Field "…" must be an integer not less than …» - a whole number not less than the named one is expected.
- «Field "…" must be text» - text is expected in the field.
- «Field "…" must be an object» - the field holds the wrong kind of value. This usually means a stale tab - refresh the page.
- «"…": no more than … characters» - the value is longer than allowed. The message names the limit.
- «Value is too long (max …)» - the value is longer than allowed.
- «An integer is expected» - a whole number is expected.
- «"…": value is not allowed» - such a value is not allowed in this field.
- «"…": allowed range is … to …» - the value is outside the allowed bounds. The message names them.
- «Value is out of range …-…» - the value is outside the allowed range.
- «Invalid date» - the date cannot be read. Pick it in the calendar instead of typing it in.
