Summary

When importing objects in Assets, the import fails with the error: "At least one value must be set." [Object (Label: xxxxxxxxxxx, Id: Unknown)].

2 error(s) found in source data Error: At least one value must be set. [Object (Label: xxxxxxxxxxx, Id: Unknown)]. Error: At least one value must be set. [Object (Label: xxxxxxxxxxx, Id: Unknown)].

Cause

The import can fail for either of these reasons:

  • The import file does not contain a value for an attribute with a minimum cardinality of 1 or higher.

  • The value in the import file does not match one of the values available for a mandatory Select (drop-down) attribute.

These causes require different checks: review the attribute's minimum cardinality for the first case, and review the imported value against the mandatory Select (drop-down) attribute values for the second case.

Solution

  • For an attribute with no value in the import file, set the attribute's minimum cardinality to 0, or add a value for that attribute in the import file.

  • For a mandatory Select (drop-down) attribute, make sure the value in the import file matches the attribute's Select (drop-down) value.

Use the error details to identify the check: the message “At least one value must be set” indicates that a required value is missing or that the imported value does not match a mandatory Select (drop-down) value. Apply the corresponding correction above before running the import again.

To change an attribute's cardinality:

  • Select Assets in the top navigation bar.

  • Select Object schemas.

  • Select the relevant object schema.

  • Select the relevant object type.

  • Select Attributes.

  • Select the gear icon next to the attribute, then select Configure in the dropdown.

  • Under the Cardinality tab, enter the maximum or minimum number of values that can be added to the attribute.

Set the minimum cardinality to 0 when the import file intentionally does not provide a value for that attribute.
