Beware of "Input column index X is different from the first input column index X"

Flatly Integrations

If you try to create columns in one bulk request, do not give each column its own unique index.

All the columns need one common index (example: 1), which is the starting point (from left to right) at which the entire column set will be created.

If you try to give each column its own numeric index (1, 2, 3) in the request body you will get the error:

"Input column index X is different from the first input column index X"

Google searches turned up nothing on this error.

Hi @steamroller

Thank you for pointing this out! I'll let the API Documentation team know that this isn't clarified in the Add Columns section of the docs.

Cheers,

I second the 'Thank You!' for this pointer. I was trying to set the indexes with a variable ticking upward in the loop that created the columns and making it harder than it had to be. :-)
