Correlation ID :CID_string

Cause

This problem occurs because a required field in a SharePoint 2010 external list database has the following characteristics:

• The field is marked as non-nullable.
• The field can accept empty strings as valid input. In this situation, Microsoft InfoPath 2010 treats empty strings and null entries as equivalent values. Therefore, these values are treated as invalid input.

Workaround

To work around this problem, if you have a database field that is marked as required when you define an operation on the external content type, make sure that the field contains values that are valid and nonblank.
