How do I prevent error 905?
You must make sure that the fields you are updating receive only plain text. There are three ways to do so:
- Manually type the data into each field.
- Sanitize your text before pasting (more on this below).
- Update your items using CSV upload.
How do I sanitize text?
- Copy the text you want to paste into your item(s).
- Paste that text into a plain text app, such as Notepad or BBEdit.
- Copy text from the plain text app--this step is important.
- Paste the copied text into your item(s).
