Another person having trouble with Invalid Record ID
Hi there, my organization has an Object called Resource Time Entry and I want to mass-delete 80 records on this object.
I have created a csv file that has the API name in the top row and the record IDs in the subsequent rows.
Here is a link to the csv file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HaGXnwF_Os8F1fTR3adt0xEk0eCh5kAr/view?usp=sharing
As you can see in the CSV file above, there are no blank rows or columns that would be causing the error (I saw other help threads that suggested blank fields could cause the error, but that is not the case here.)
The API name for the object is Resource_Time_Entry__c, so that is what I put in the top column. I then tried to map Resource_Time_Entry__c = RTE-44709 (Sample Data) and I thought that would delete all records of "Resource_Time_Entry__c" that equal the numbers on the list.
However, when I try to click Resource_Time_Entry__c as the ID, I get the error "Invalid Resource Time EntryID" with the message "The prefix of the selected column does not match the one of the object."
I have tried to troubleshooting by using the following IDs in the first row instead of "Resource_Time_Entry__c":
- Name [Field Name associated with the RTE numbers]
- 01I61000000yD5Z [number that shows up in the URL of the custom object]
-
Resource Time Entry [Singular Label]
- Resource Time Entries [Plural Label]
I am not sure what else to try. I read something about External ID, and we do have that field on the Resource Time Entry Object; however, it is blank on these entries so I am not sure it can be used.
I believe I am making an error with my csv file, but I do not know what it is, so I cannot resolve it. I have spent over an hour trying to troubleshoot by researching the problem online and attempting different methods of writing the ID, and have been unsuccessful. Any help that you can provide would be appreciated.
