Hi,

 

I am using  a text input to write data onto SharePoint using the SharePoint output  connector tool. I get this error "bad argument type for built-in operation". How do I resolve this?

 

Thanks

Hi @Thobeka - 2 things to try here.

  • Use a Select Tool to reduce the size of the string field going into SharePoint.
  • Delete, readd and reconfigure the SharePoint tool

Just came across this topic while facing the same "bad argument type for built-in operation" error. I didn't face the issue at my local machine, but only while running the workflow at the Gallery of our on-prem Alteryx server.

First tried to upgrade to version 2.7.1 but with no result.

In the end, synchronizing my Data Connection Manager fixed the issue. No clue why.
