SharePoint Lists - Bad optional access / Invalid argument numericid
Hi community, one of our SharePoint users have a problem since a few days with editing, deleting and displaying list items in SharePoint lists. The user receives the following error messages:
- The user receives an error message when deleting records (Error Code: Bad optional access). The error message does not occur for all list items. Some elements the user can delete, other elements generate the error message.
- When editing elements, the user receives an error message (Error Code: Invalid argument numericid); again, but not for all elements.
- No new records are displayed to the user
The problem occurs only with this certain user.
The user has already deleted the cookies and cache of his browser. If he uses the private mode of his browser, these problems do not appear.
Does anyone know this problem and has a solution?

PPPUser Any resolution?
I had this error come up yesterday. I waited until today to try again, but I am still receiving the same error. "1 Item wasn't deleted
Bad optional access"The entry itself appears to be corrupted somehow. When I click on the list item, no fields appear, just "Invalid argument: numericId". Any updates or solutions from Microsoft?
CaitlinAO This happened for me today too. However, I found a workaround:
- Go to the classic 'site manager' interface (put the string /_layouts/15/sitemanager.aspx after your site name - note you need site collection admin permissions to access this)
- Choose the list where you are getting the errors
- Select the items you want to delete, then Actions>Delete, then Okay when it asks if you are sure you want to delete.
When you return to the list in the Modern interface, you may need to refresh a few times but eventually you should see that the unwanted items have been removed from the list.
- I can confirm that this works. Thank you for your help.
Same problem. Trying to delete items. They won't delete. Bad optional access. So we just wait and eventually the problem goes away?
- I X'd out of the app and went back in again. Refreshed the app.
Modifico mis listas, se actualizan y luego no reflejan los cambios realizados.
Luego nuevamente se visualizan los cambios.
Alguien a encontrado la solución?- Is this list syncing? You might have users stop the sync as a trial - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/edit-lists-offline-41403c3e-1795-4e07-b56b-ae591cbde2f9 also ensure your ODB sync client is on the newest build.
M-Dub208 interesting this issue started at my end now as well. not synced only populated via the graph. I can view but not edit items.
- Hi everyone. I have a client that is reporting these issues as well. Was anyone able to understand what happened? Also, is there anyone else that is having this issue?
I appreciate any help you can provide. We are also experiencing this issue. I am currently unable to open or edit new records in our lists.
As a workaround I can use a Power App to do it but it's not a permanent solution.- Apparently Power Apps are not a suitable workaround either if you're using Lookup columns as the Lookup doesn't get updated if you add a new record into that.
- We are also experiencing this issue and hoping for a resolution soon as it's greatly impacting our efficiency
I'm experiencing the same issue with one of my lists which has over 20000 records. The older records prior to Jun 24th do not have any issue. I see the same error with any newer items.
Anyone found any resolutions yet?
