I'm using a couple of ajax calls to gather data from a view (in my case view 200) and then place that information into two objects (in my case object 38 and object 15).

The first POST works fine.&nbsp; The data arrives and the response is successful.

The second POST fails with an Error 400 - Bad Request.&nbsp; It appears as though I lose my data when I go to do the second ajax call.&nbsp; Here is the code I'm using.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

// Zone4 Details Create New COMMON record when button pushed - Start of Code  
// on page load  
$(document).on('knack-view-render.view\_200', function(event, view) {

// Add a buttons for adding Player, Guardian 1 and Guardian 2  
$('\<button id="Player""\>Insert Player\</button\>').insertBefore('.field\_377');  
$('\<button id="Guard1""\>Insert Guardian 1\</button\>').insertBefore('.field\_366');  
$('\<button id="Guard2""\>Insert Guardian 2\</button\>').insertBefore('.field\_371');

// Setup variables to collect Zone4 data  
var zone4\_player = Knack.models['view\_200'].toJSON();  
var zone4\_guard1 = Knack.models['view\_200'].toJSON();  
var zone4\_guard2 = Knack.models['view\_200'].toJSON();

// Gather data for later use in ajax calls.  
var player\_first\_name = zone4\_player.field\_377\_raw.first;  
var player\_last\_name = zone4\_player.field\_377\_raw.last;  
var player\_home = zone4\_player.field\_379\_raw.number;

I figured it out.&nbsp; It was because I was trying to insert text into an eMail field.&nbsp; As soon as I added&nbsp; &nbsp;.email&nbsp; to the formatting code it worked out fine.

&nbsp;

Here is the updated code.

&nbsp;

var playeruserdata = {  
 field\_166: {  
 first: player\_first\_name+'TEST',  
 last: player\_last\_name+'TEST'  
 }, // Name  
 field\_504: '5a3172ba279dac07130e5e9c', // Community Connection  
 field\_453: player\_gender, //Gender  
 field\_167: player\_email.email, // eMail  
 field\_168: "SoftballPassword", // Temporary Password  
 field\_169: "Active", // User Status  
 filed\_170: "Player", // User Roles  
 field\_454: player\_communitynum, // Community League Number  
 field\_456: player\_healthnum, // Health Number  
 field\_457: player\_medconcerns, // Medical Concerns   
 field\_464: '2018', // Registration Year Hard Coded  
 field\_742: player\_dob, // Date of Birth  
 field\_596: ob38postrecid // Common Connection  
 };

Hello Jeff

I think it's password issue may be you set some password validations.

Can you try this using exact value of password with meet requirements . Like if you set 1 numeric then add number etc .

And can you share your post data string ?

Thanks   
Sunny Singla

Sent that too fast... does anyone see anything wrong with my java?&nbsp; Anyone have any ideas why this code might work on the first object (38) but fail on the second object (15)?

&nbsp;

Please help!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
