Troubleshooting error 10583 "A value passed for the field X is invalid"
Hi all, hoping someone can help troubleshoot. I've got a workbench that I'm using to hopefully publish ongoing updates from publicly hosted Get It Done reports for San Diego. I'm running into this error with the 2021 YTD dataset:
ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Writer: String attribute 'public_description' truncated to fit maximum field length of 254 on server

If I "Remove" the public_description field using the AttributeManager, it publishes fine.
I was guessing it could be something to do with some accented characters in the public_description field, though I do see these characters successfully published to Portal when published manually.
I tried using a StringPairReplacer to swap these out, but either I'm not getting them all or it's something else.
The dataset publishes fine on its own to Portal, it just seems to be the update process where it is getting stuck. I'm new to this extension/FME world so it could be something super obvious. I appreciate any suggestions!
The entire workspace so far...
Thank you
Hi Bruce! Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention the field length was the first thing I went for as well, but it didn't' seem to help. I tried again at your suggestion to no avail.
However, I did end up finding a single problematic record. I did this by running half the records each time with a less than/greater than X service id, to narrow in on a single record. Once I found it, I confirmed the entire rest of the dataset ran successfully with it removed in the TestFilter:
Here is the public_description field of this record:
If I remove the < bracket with a StringPairReplacer, the translation is successful. If I remove only the > bracket, it still fails:
Interestingly there is a second record with a single < that causes no issues:
I'm not quite sure how to predict or plan for potential cases like this... is there a list of problematic characters when updating or inserting data in Portal, like there is for field names?
Who knows... but thank you for your help. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me more in the future as we continue to use this tool!
Thank you --
