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: Th...
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.
