INVALID_OR_NULL_FOR_RESTRICTED_PICKLIST - Restore Error for Email Message

INVALID_OR_NULL_FOR_RESTRICTED_PICKLIST - Restore Error for Email Message

Updated over 5 months ago

Problem Statement

This error is caused by Salesforce validation on the 'FromAddress' field. The field contains a restricted picklist that only accepts predefined values. If the value being restored does not match any of these predefined values, the error is triggered.

Overview

While restoring an EmailMessage object in Salesforce, if the ‘from address’ field has an external email address, Salesforce will fail to validate and restore the object as the field value (external email address) does not exist in the production org.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, use ‘Data Translation’ to nullify the 'ValidateFromAddress' field during the restore process. This allows the restore to complete successfully without triggering the validation error.

Steps to Nullify the 'ValidateFromAddress' Field Using Data Translation:

  • Access Data Translation Settings under Restore Template

  • Scroll to ‘ValidateFromAddress’ field

  • Edit the value to (.*)

  • Save the changes and proceed to restore

Additional Notes:

Ensure that nullifying the 'ValidateFromAddress' field does not impact other business processes or data integrity in your Salesforce environment.

This solution is specific to the 'ValidateFromAddress' field validation error. Other fields with restricted picklists may require similar translation rules.
