Not able to create the same custom object after deleting once.

Faithlife_Dev — Wed, 04 Nov 2020 20:00:36 GMT

Hello,

I am running into 409 issue while trying to create a custom object.

I created it once and deleted it and now I'm trying to add the same custom object again, I'm getting "... already exists", "OBJECT_ALREADY_EXISTS" error.

I got 204 when I deleted the object and when I try to GET the object schema using the object type Id I got it returns nothing, which indicates that the object was successfully removed.

Is this being archived somewhere? Is it possible to undo this? I would like to add the object named the same as the one that I deleted.

Thank you for the help!

Issue with recreating custom object API after previous deletion.

Hi all,

I'm just getting into Custom Objects, and am experiencing some difficulty with the setup.

I previously created an object named 'Partner'. Due to erroneous properties, I wanted to delete the schema and recreate it again. The DELETE schema call went through successfully, and the object disappeared from my portal.

When I tried re-doing the process, the error response was as follows:

HTTP 409 { "status": "error", "message": "p4954505_partner already exists", "correlationId": "f75b0218-45ae-4b84-aa4a-f98fe90cfbde", "context": { "name": [ "p4954505_partner" ] }, "category": "OBJECT_ALREADY_EXISTS", "subCategory": "InboundDbObjectTypeError.OBJECT_TYPE_ALREADY_EXIST" }

I don't understand why this is happening, considering I can't locate the object in my portal anymore.

PS: All the schema metadata remains the same, just changed the properties.

Hi @caralyza

This same question was asked earlier today. I am going to test and see if I can reproduce as well. Will be tomorrow, though

@Faithlife_Dev ,

Another similar issue was reported and I have combined the two questions. Will test and get back to you!

Hello @Faithlife_Dev , @caralyza

After you delete, you will need to purge to fully remove the schema

/crm-object-schemas/v3/schemas/{objectType}/purge

Let me know if you have issues!

Hi. Dennis.

We created a custom object called machine and then deleted it. The object still shows up in the portal / browser view but not via the API request as we getthe 404 response.

How do you send this request to purge?

PURGE , DELETE ??

Heya @David_Macfarlan ,

You will use DELETE. It is the last endpoint in the documenation
