How do I Resolve Error 5003?

Error 5003: “An error occurred while saving 'FORMBUILDERFIELDS'; an entity with the same identifying fields ('FORMGUID', 'FIELDNAME') already exists.”

5003

 

This error typically occurs when two fields in the form you’re creating have the same API name. In Properties, you can see the API name displayed beneath each field.

The API name is automatically populated based on the label you assign to the field. For example, if you have two date fields in your form, the system would automatically assign both the API name "Date." Since each field must have a unique API name, the system displays this error when you try to save the form.

Please go through the fields in your form and ensure that the API names are unique. Even adding a "1" at the end of the API name will resolve the issue.

If you’re still receiving the error message then please ensure you check the ‘Removed Fields’ tab and either remove the field or change the API Name.
