Error with scheduled action about sfdx-mass-action-scheduler HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @LCurran1006,

Thanks for your interest in Mass Action Scheduler.

What action type are you using? Any chance you're sending the records through a Flow? If yes, then it might be related to #41. If yes, then if possible, maybe try to use another action type like an Update Records quick action instead of a Flow to update the records.

Thanks

Hi @douglascayers it is set up using a Quick Action, not a flow.

Gotcha. If you’re trying to pass in a checkbox field value (true/false) there is a limitation I think that the API sends that data over as text, not a Boolean (or vice versa, either way it’s not the expected data type).

Since the Salesforce platform is determining the data type being sent in the API, I think you’d have to use a workaround and map a non checkbox field over THEN use extra automation to make a field update based on that. Definitely not ideal but I’m not sure what else to do at the moment.

For example, instead of yor target being a Quick Action you could use a Flow target. The Flow input variable type to be Text and use a Decision element to do a Record Update Action if the text variable is “true” or “false”.

Hi @LCurran1006, I've opened a new enhancement request to track checkbox/boolean field support. A few other people have reported similar problems so this new issue will help me track and communicate progress towards it in one central spot. Thanks for your interest in Mass Action Scheduler!
