Troubleshooting Failed to Update Table Error in Clay

The "Failed to update table" error can occur due to a few common reasons: 1. Invalid or conflicting data issues: • Writing to a deleted column • Sending data to a table that references another table 2. Value formatting issues: • When writing lists to tables, the values may not be properly formatted as lists To resolve this: 1. First, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page, as this can resolve many persistent error messages 2. If the error persists: • Double-check that all columns and tables exist and are correctly set up • Reconfigure your Write to Table integrations to ensure there are no misconfigurations If you're specifically trying to write a list to another table, add the list through the "Other data from this table" section.

Hey there, thanks for reaching out! ☺️ The cell is empty. Can you fill that one in and retry:

Are you still seeing an issue in this table or elsewhere? https://app.clay.com/workspaces/194372/tables/t_ppqXxAUnikfu/views/gv_9eMWd58QziFh I was able to update cell in the "New Column" column without issue. So the issue doesn't seem inherent to the table or your workspace. Please let me know if you're still stuck!

Hey Jonathan! Sorry about this. Happy to help✨. Could you share a screen recording/video of the exact steps you take before getting that error? It'll help the team troubleshoot this.

Hey Jonathan - sorry you're running into this. Unfortunately its a bit tough for us to figure out what the error is just based off the screenshot. Is it possible for you to record a video of what you're doing, or let us know what steps you're taking to trigger that error? Happy to help troubleshoot once we know whats going on.

Hey Josh, To help troubleshoot, I'd need to understand exactly what's happening when you try to save it. Can you record a video?

Hey there Jonathan do you happen to have a video that we can check for this?

Hey Jonathan,

I'm not able to replicate this in your workspace. Would you mind doing a hard refresh and trying again? That should fix this.
