FIELD_FILTER_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION" salesforce error

Export

Satisfies field lookup filters. Use for FIELD_FILTER_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION. Not for validation rules.

TL;DR

A lookup filter on the field rejects the value. Check the field's lookup filter criteria and pick a value that passes it.

Error

FIELD_FILTER_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION

Steps

  1. Open the field's lookup filter definition Expected: you see the criteria.
  2. Check your value against the filter Expected: you find the mismatch.
  3. Pick a lookup value that satisfies the filter Expected: it passes.
  4. Re-run the operation Expected: it succeeds.

When to use

  • FIELDFILTERVALIDATION_EXCEPTION
  • A lookup filter rejects the value

When not to use

  • No lookup filter exists (then check validation rules)
  • The filter is wrong (then fix the filter, not the data)

Tool compatibility

  • Salesforce lookup filters
  • Data loads with lookups

Variant phrasings

field filter validation exception

The lookup filter rejects your value. Check its criteria.

FIELDFILTERVALIDATION_EXCEPTION

Same: the value fails the field's lookup filter.

Why it happens

Lookup filters are invisible in the API; agents see a valid ID and cannot understand why it is rejected.

Edge cases

  • Filters can depend on the source record's field values
  • Optional vs required filter behavior differs
