Hi all, I have made a MiniExtensions portal for a client of mine. The client has the option to use a form to add new records. Within this form, there is a “Location” field, consisting of a list of locations that are linked to the organisation, where they can select a location from the list or decide to add a new location. In some occasions, but not always, we are getting the following error message: _“Fields were expexted to be keyed by names, but found ids instead”_ See screenshot attached. ![Screenshot 2024-04-18 at 13.27.41](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/miniextensions/original/1X/1cf9b1261601f226299be09106cc88c9ce35c49c.png) Can any of you clarify what this might mean and how to solve it? Thanks heaps! Jort. ---

Hi. I have the same error showing on our Portal. Some clients have reported it but it isn’t happening every time! I have never seen it before, I haven’t changed any settings on our Portal recently but this suddenly started happening. ---

Same here, nothing changed in the portal settings and the error only shows up from time to time! ---

I have the same issue and submitted a trouble ticket last week. What I discovered is that if the record finder was set to personal user records only, we get the error message (But not always). When I allow all records it goes away. Portal is not new, but the error message is. ---
