Troubleshooting Error for Missing Inputs in Local Prompt Configuration

Alex P. · 2025-12-19T09:16:18.724Z

Hi support team, trying to figure out why this is not working. I'm running a simple local prompt on fields (company_name & domain) please see image below, error I am getting is: Prompt has the error(s): Rows from: allwhere_followers > company_name is blank In this column's configuration, these inputs were marked as required in your prompt. You can either ensure the input fields are filled for this row, or you can make these inputs optional in your column's prompt section, so that the cell will run even if they are missing As you can see I have all fields filled in. Please find table here (https://app.clay.com/workspaces/873304/workbooks/wb_0t7df9vee6XxmQfDoC6/tables/t_0t7f7i5vJgEKfkA7TVE/views/gv_0t7i6zaBr2UyqugzcnN). Thanks!

The error suggests the prompt is looking for data in a different column than what you're showing. The message mentions "allwhere_followers > company_name is blank" which indicates it's checking a filtered subset of rows.
To fix this, open your Prompt Editor and toggle off Required to Run next to the company_name field. This will allow the prompt to run even when it thinks the field is empty. [1]
Alternatively, click into the specific error cell to see more details about which exact row is causing the issue.

Hi Alex, It seems issue was with your JSON schema, the characters at the end:
I've removed those and everything should be working. As a note though, I probably wouldn't recommend using a model as expensive and powerful as GPT-5 for this task, when GPT-5 mini or Nano can probably handle it (and be much cheaper)

Originally I've used 4 nano but then I've tried switching models to see if that would help 🙂 Thank you for the quick response..

No worries, If thats all - I'll tentatively mark this closed for the moment, but keep in touch if you hit other roadblocks!
