I don't understand why I get this error:

"The provided dataset is invalid Error in the validation of the custom field. Error: 'number' was expected as the value of the singleOption field. ApiKey: b6ece909065711a8ef55ac3a5ca806ab0a76d739"

Hi @Admin Pipedrive 

We will need to see screenshots with how the steps are outlined and configured in order to have context about the error.

This is the main overview of the zap

the problem is supposed to be caused by the 4 step. so I am attaching images of how I have mapped the fields.

Thank you very much!!!
 

1st fields


 

2nd fields
3rd fields
4th
5th
6th

PD: there are a few more but they are not usually filled in.

The # Potential Users expects a number (can be a decimal as indicated by the 1.0)

The mapped variable value is not a valid number.

 

Also, check the Existing Routes field.
