Problem

When trying to upload a file using eXtendFiles, you receive an error message similar to the below:

You have entered an Invalid Field Value 6106 for the following field: custrecord_extfile_partner_pref.

Cause

This error typically occurs for one of the following reasons:

• Inactive record - The record you're trying to attach to is marked as inactive in NetSuite.
  
• Permission restrictions - Your role doesn't have permissions to access the record you're trying to attach to.
  
• Reference field filter - There's a filter on the reference field that prevents the record from being a valid value in the list.
  

Solution

Follow the appropriate solution based on the cause:

Solution 1: Inactive record

If the record is marked as inactive:

• Activate the record in NetSuite, or
  
• Use the Standalone Upload feature instead
  

Solution 2: Permission restrictions

If your role lacks the necessary permissions:

• Add the required permissions to your role, or
  
• Configure the underlying script deployment to run with a role that has the necessary permissions
  

Solution 3: Reference field filter

If there's a filter preventing the record from being valid:

• Confirm that there aren't filters that would prevent the record from being set. For example, if there's a type filter of ‘customer’ in your “entity” reference field but you're trying to attach to a type of ‘vendor’, no match would be found.
