Can't add record to a database

Abdulquddus Ajibade

Hi guys, I keep getting this error:
"Failed to save row: 5 - Invalid method for filter - trim" anytime I try to add record on one table on Xano, who knows what to do?

Hi @Abdulquddus Ajibade! This error typically comes from a field that you might have switched the data type on. For example, maybe you changed this from a text to an object. Text fields have a TRIM filter applied by default, and this should be removed when the data type is switched, but every once in a while it gets missed.

To resolve this, click on the column name for any non-text fields, choose Settings, and see if there is a "trim" filter applied. If so, remove this, and you should be all set.

If this does not resolve the issue for you, please reach out to us via support chat by clicking the ❓icon in the lower-left corner inside Xano so we can investigate your table directly.
