Error returned from form is incomprehenisble and inappropriate, seemingly

[Lew]

Hi,

I am testing a new form with FaaS. I get this error returned:

The 'urn:APISchema.xsd:ItemID' element is invalid - The value '0' is invalid according to its datatype 'Long' - The MinInclusive constraint failed..

Here's my ItemID in my form:

<input id="ItemID1"         type="hidden" name="ItemID1"          value="Donation" />

I tested the form with the C&P Verify URL; it all looked fine. Here's what Verify shows:

ItemID

ItemID1

YES

1

Donation

This is a fixed field, meaning it's not altered or set by user input.

So why am I getting this error, and how do I correct it?

Thanks!

I found the reason for this error. The value of "0" for a datatype sounded suspiciously like a conversion problem. And that's what it was. I had a STRING for the "ItemID" field, and it should be a number. (Of course they're all strings, but the string has to comprise only digits, not letters or other symbols.)

So once I changed ItemID to be "12345" instead of "Donations", eveything worked.

You really need to make a change in your documentation for "Form Fields": You must state that "ItemID" needs to comprise numbers in the string, and state that anything other than digits here will not work.
