When I try to create a new list item using Sharepoint's web services interface, I am not able to populate Bamboo Rich Text fields.  If I try to, I get the following error response:

<Result ID="1,New" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
 <ErrorCode>0x81020014</ErrorCode>
 <ErrorText>One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.</ErrorText>
</Result> 

The Bamboo Rich Text field seems to work fine otherwise (except for how it is rendered in Bamboo Simple List Search results, which I posted in another thread).  I am using the latest version of the Bamboo Rich Text field.  The content that I am trying to import into these fields is very simple text (no markup).  I have not tried updating an existing list item through web services, so I am not sure if that has a problem as well.  Any idea why this might be occurring?

Thanks,

Dave

I figured out the problem, it was my mistake with setting up the web service call.  I was using the column's StaticName property to reference it instead of its Name property.  These properties are often the same, but (from what I can tell) they can be different when the StaticName is longer than 32 characters or when you are using multiple ContentTypes in a list.

 

Thanks,

Dave
