Trello Custom Fields Randomly Being Skipped on New Zap

[hank nahum]

Hey - I have a zap set up to pull data down from Paperform & send to Trellos custom fields. 

I verified everything is linked up to the correct values but for some reason - it keeps skipping data even though the zap shows that it's available to send 

It skips random fields on every card & I can't seem to figure out what might be causing this

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful

@hank nahum when you say "skips" fields, do you mean that some custom fields in Trello aren't populated with data while others are, even though the "data in" view in Zapier shows that there were data available for those fields? And you're saying that it is not consistently occurring for the same fields?

If something is misbehaving in this way, generally the only way to figure it out is to scale back the function to something that does work, then introduce new bits until it breaks. So for example, get a different zap which only updates one field from the same data set, and doesn't do anything else, then make sure that one thing works consistently, then work your way up.

Hey @Iain Dooley thanks for your input. I added a delay, then a zap to update the same card & that seemed to work.
