19043: Field definition name already exists


ERROR: 19043

error-19043 page anchor
API, SENDGRID
ERROR

This error is returned when a request attempts to create or rename a custom field definition to a name that is already present for the account. Field definition names must be unique. Field definition name values are enforced as case-insensitively unique in the SendGrid Marketing Campaigns API, which manages custom field definitions.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • The name supplied in POST /v3/marketing/field_definitions matches (case-insensitively) an existing custom field definition.
  • An update via PATCH /v3/marketing/field_definitions/{custom_field_id} attempts to change name to one that already exists.
  • Choose a unique name value; uniqueness is case-insensitive, so avoid names that differ only by letter case.
  • List existing definitions first with GET /v3/marketing/field_definitions and verify that the desired name is not already present (including case-insensitive matches).
  • If you intended to modify an existing definition, update it using PATCH /v3/marketing/field_definitions/{custom_field_id} rather than creating a new one.
  • If you must replace an existing definition, remove it with DELETE /v3/marketing/field_definitions/{custom_field_id} before creating a new one (only custom fields can be deleted).
