Common errors

Our team tried their best to make the values replacement process as easy and seamless as possible. However, by its nature, it is a process that can be interrupted for various reasons. As a result, some values, or in the worst-case scenario - all values might not be replaced. Quick Replace will notify you about errors, as shown in the image below.

The table below lists the most common errors and tips on how to fix or avoid them.

Values errors

Values errors
Invalid column values - columns have individual restrictions depending on their type.	Confirm that: You are not trying to replace a numeric value in a column of type Numbers with a text value. Your text type column values are no larger than 64kB of text (in practice around 61000 characters). Your long-text type column values are no longer than 2000 characters. Your Name* column is between 1 and 255 characters long. It cannot be a single whitespace if it is exactly 1 character long. Make sure to use the column's filter in Quick Replace to narrow down the scope of replaced columns. * - The Name column appears under different names depending on the board type, e.g. Task, Item, Employee. In any case, it is always the first column on the board.
XSS prevention mechanism - monday.com API queries return XSS-sanitized payloads, which might lead to discrepancies between the values displayed in your columns and the values that Quick Replace can update.	Confirm that you are not trying to replace values that fall into the XSS attack category. Because the sanitization takes place on the monday side, there is nothing we can do about this issue.
