Reminder: strict validation for column values after October 18th

This is a reminder that starting October 18th, 2022, we’ll be validating the JSON you send to update column values. Sending unexpected values will return an error. For example:

To update an hour column, you must send the hour and minute in 24-hour format.

"{\"hour\":16,\"minute\":42}"

If you send an unexpected value, for example:

"{\"hour\":false}"

You will see an error saying that “hour” should be a number and that the “minute” key is missing.

Validation will not only check for expected keys, but for types as well. Sending a string when an integer is expected will result in an error, for example.

How should I respond to this change?

If you are updating column values, you should confirm you are sending expected values by comparing them to our Column Types Reference
