Person Attribute From Fields is throwing a validation Error?

5

Hi,

I'm experimenting with persisting an external enquiry to a person record  but it isn't working so far. Like a few other people on the Rock Forums, my aim is to do follow-up with enquirers.

I'm following the guide, populating the fields with {{ Workflow.FirstName }}, {{ Workflow.LastName }}, {{ Workflow.Email }} but getting a validation error but no idea what is failing or how to trace it down beyond the error message below. Can someone shed light on why this is happening and what I can do about it please?

Error Validation failed for one or more entities. See 'EntityValidationErrors' property for more details. at System.Data.Entity.Internal.InternalContext.SaveChanges() at Rock.Data.DbContext.SaveChanges(Boolean disablePrePostProcessing) at Rock.Data.DbContext.SaveChanges(Boolean disablePrePostProcessing) at Rock.Model.GroupService.SaveNewGroup(RockContext rockContext, Int32 groupTypeId, Nullable`1 parentGroupGuid, String groupName, List`1 groupMembers, Nullable`1 campusId, Boolean savePersonAttributes) at Rock.Model.GroupService.SaveNewFamily(RockContext rockContext, List`1 familyMembers, Nullable`1 campusId, Boolean savePersonAttributes) at Rock.Model.PersonService.SaveNewPerson(Person person, RockContext rockContext, Nullable`1 campusId, Boolean savePersonAttributes) at Rock.Workflow.Action.GetPersonFromFields.Execute(RockContext rockContext, WorkflowAction action, Object entity, List`1& errorMessages) at Rock.Model.WorkflowAction.Process(RockContext rockContext, Object entity, List`1& errorMessages) at Rock.Model.WorkflowActivity.Process(RockContext rockContext, Object entity, List`1& errorMessages) at Rock.Model.Workflow.ProcessActivity(RockContext rockContext, DateTime processStartTime, Object entity, List`1& errorMessages) at Rock.Model.Workflow.ProcessActivities(RockContext rockContext, Object entity, List`1& errorMessages) at Rock.Model.WorkflowService.Process(Workflow workflow, Object entity, List`1& errorMessages) at RockWeb.Blocks.WorkFlow.WorkflowEntry.CompleteFormAction(String formAction) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Blocks\WorkFlow\WorkflowEntry.ascx.cs:line 757 at RockWeb.Blocks.WorkFlow.WorkflowEntry.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Blocks\WorkFlow\WorkflowEntry.ascx.cs:line 235 at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)


If I can get this to work, ideally I'd like all people assigned to do followup to have access to a simple list of people assigned to them in their dashboard.


Hope you can help


Every Blessing

    I've copied the External Enquiry workflow on the live demo and just added an action to add person from fields

    Gotcha. Okay based on the screenshot, you have defined Attributes in the Workflow of FirstName, LastName and Email. Instead of putting in {{ Workflow.FirstName }} in this case you will want to select those attributes from the drop-downs to the right and then blank out the fields on the left.
