Network Error — Network error when using Patch function

Network error when using Patch function: "The requested operation is invalid".

Root cause

You are attempting to Patch a record but providing an invalid data structure, missing a required field, or providing a text value to a Lookup/Choice column without the correct object format.

How to fix it

  1. For Choice columns, supply the structured record: { Value: "My Choice", '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference" }.
  2. For Lookup columns, provide the Id and Value.
  3. Ensure all required fields in the data source are included if creating a new record.
