Clearbit form error company size field populated with parent instead of subsi

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in Clearbit by acting on the exact message first: prefer the record for the exact domain submitted on the form over the global parent record, store parent data in separate parent fields, and test the form with a known subsidiary domain. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one record, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Clearbit form enrichment populated company size with parent company data instead of the subsidiary

Use this when

• The operation in Clearbit fails with this exact message: Clearbit form enrichment populated company size with parent company data instead of the subsidiary.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A run, import, export or alert is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or platform outage notice. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in Clearbit, and copy the full message plus the record, account or list involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named record, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: prefer the record for the exact domain submitted on the form over the global parent record, store parent data in separate parent fields, and test the form with a known subsidiary domain. Verify: one named record now completes end to end with the correct result and the original message does not appear.
3. Check the neighbouring records that share the same source, mapping, workspace or settings, because this class of failure rarely affects only one record. Verify: the neighbouring records are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, fields or alerts against the source in Clearbit so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in Clearbit on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the record so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

The domain belonged to a subsidiary but resolution rolled up to the parent, whose headcount describes the whole group rather than the business the lead came from.
