Conflict types and resolutions
| Conflict | Reason | Result | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Character Limit | The value of the data exceeds the character limit set for the field. | The value truncates. | Use a shorter value or cancel your changes and use the advanced interface or an alternate view. |
| Vocabulary | The value of the data does not belong to the restricted vocabulary set for the field. | The value clears. | Select a value from the field’s restricted vocabulary or cancel your changes and use the advanced interface or an alternate view. |
| Multiplicity | A field contains more values than the view allows. | Additional values save but do not display. | Use the advanced interface or an alternate view if you want to see or edit the additional values. |
| Language | Occurs when you import data in a language not used by the Metadata tool in your organization. | The language changes to “unspecified.” | Select an alternate language, leave the language unspecified, or ask site administration to add the language. |
