By using this guide, you can learn how to address issues with invalid fields on your LinkedIn form. With these fixes, you can get your form set up and running in no time.
What Causes This Error?
This error is typically due to an invalid field or a typo. For example, if the field name specified in your form is incorrect, the form will not populate with the entered data. Additionally, if the data is not formatted correctly, the form will not accept the input. In either case, the result is an invalid field that needs to be corrected.
How To Fix It
To resolve this issue, there are three possible solutions:
1. Check the Field Name
The first solution is to check the field name you are referencing. If the field is not exactly the same as it appears in the system, the data will not be accepted. For example, if the field name is ‘Name’, the field should be spelled out exactly as ‘Name’, not ‘name’ or ‘Name!’.
2. Fix the Formatting
The second solution is to fix the formatting. If the field does not accept the data entered, the data may need to be reformatted. For example, if the field expects an email address, the entire address should be entered in the form.
3. Submit a Troubleshoot Request
The third solution is to submit a troubleshoot request in the system. This will alert the system administrators of the issue and they will be able to address it. It is important to ensure that the request is sent to the appropriate mailing list.
