Creating an opportunity using Intelligent Forms fails due to incorrect question reference

Error/warning messages

Error in UI:

Error updating UDF data for Opportunity 

Error in API:

Number= -57 Message= UDF field format is not valid. OpportunityText533 is not Numeric.

Related entry in ChangepointConnectorLog:

Create or Update Opportunity - ....Assign Custom Field (Field name=Value) OpportunityText533=[q.168]


Reason

The form assigns the value of "[q.168]" to the configurable field, which is not recognized as a valid Question reference by Infiniti and passed to API as a text string, therefore fails the update of the numeric UDF.

Resolution

Replace all references to "[q.168]" in the form design, with "[q168]" (that is, remove the dot) which is the correct format for a Question. This will ensure that the numeric value entered for Question 168 is going to be assigned to the configurable field.
