Custom Object 2.0 Rest API Lead Link problem

Hello,

I'm trying to insert a new entry in our custom object created before custom objects 2.0 months ago, but get an error:

"result": [
    {
        "seq": 0,
        "status": "skipped",
        "reasons": [
            {
            "code": "1004",
            "message": "Lead not found"
            }
        ]
        }
    ],
"success": true

I have a link field "LeadID" and the id is set correctly, I've tried other leads and i get the same error. My interpretation is that on insert i can't because the API can't find the lead that exists. As an aside, our lead object doesn't have a "LeadID" we have the old "id," is it related? From the API Describe Lead:

{
    "id": 39,
    "displayName": "Id",
    "dataType": "integer",
        "soap": {
        "name": "Id",
        "readOnly": false
    },
    "rest": {
        "name": "id",
        "readOnly": false
    }
},

We currently have no data, but have campaigns on this object, would it be easier to completely rebuild it using the Custom Objects 2.0?

Relevant details for my problem:

  1. We have a custom object created months ago before custom objects 2.0
  2. I added fields using the new custom 2.0 object interface
  3. There's no data, so rebuilding it is an option

yes the person exists! haha

I think the problem is that the deal object points to "leadid" but we don't have an actual "leadid" in the lead object, we have "id."

I've created a whole new custom object mapped to lead id, "id," and it works. is it possible to modify link fields on a custom object?


Possibly, you would need to open a support ticket to find out for sure.  If a newly provisioned object works for you and you don't have any existing data in the old table, then I would suggest moving on from it, though.

Could you provide the result for your object from List Custom Objects and an example of you input so we can have a better idea of what we're looking at?

This first question may be silly but: Are you certain there's a lead with ID 397069 in the destination instance?

Second question, what does Describe shows as the field types for LeadID and PersonID?
