FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION" salesforce error

TL;DR

A field integrity rule failed: the value violates a constraint (e.g. a lookup to a deleted record, or a bad master-detail). Read the full error for the field, fix the value, and retry.

Error

FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION

Steps

1. Read the full error message for the field name Expected: you know which field.
2. Check the value against the field's constraints Expected: you find the violation.
3. Fix the value (valid lookup, allowed picklist, correct type) Expected: it passes.
4. Re-run the operation Expected: it succeeds.

When to use

• FIELDINTEGRITYEXCEPTION
• A value violates a field constraint

When not to use

• The message names a validation rule (then it is a validation rule, not integrity)
• The value looks fine (then check triggers)

Tool compatibility

• Salesforce field constraints
• API data loads

Variant phrasings

fieldintegrityexception

A field value violates its constraints. The full error names the field.

FIELDINTEGRITYEXCEPTION

Same: fix the offending value.

Why it happens

It is a catch-all for 'the data does not fit the schema'. Agents hit it on bulk loads where one bad row poisons the batch.

Edge cases

• The error often carries the field name; parse it programmatically
• Triggers can throw this too; check them if the data looks clean
