## TL;DR

The value's type does not match the field (e.g. text into a number). Convert it to the field's type before sending.

## Error

```text
INVALID_TYPE_ON_FIELD_IN_RECORD
```

## Steps

1. Check the field's type in the describe Expected: you know what it wants.
2. Convert your value to that type Expected: it matches.
3. Re-run the operation Expected: it succeeds.
4. Coerce types in the integration layer Expected: it cannot regress.

## When to use

- INVALID_TYPE_ON_FIELD_IN_RECORD
- Wrong value type for the field

## When not to use

- The types match (then check for hidden characters)
- The field is a reference (then send an ID, not a name)

## Tool compatibility

- Salesforce field types
- ETL type mapping

## Variant phrasings

### invalid type on field in record

Convert the value to the field's type.

### INVALID_TYPE_ON_FIELD_IN_RECORD

Same: type mismatch.

## Why it happens

CSV imports are all strings; agents send them raw and numbers, dates, and booleans all fail.

## Edge cases

- Date formats are locale-sensitive; use ISO format
- Checkbox fields want true/false, not yes/no
