Validation Errors While Saving Record(s)
There were custom validation error(s) encountered while saving the affected record(s). The first validation error encountered was
"00D300000001G8W: VALIDATION_FAILED [: limit exceeded:
Lead.ProductInterest__c: limit exceeded]".
ANSWER:
A hidden custom field called "ProductInterest__c" is added to the Lead table for DupeBlocker unit testing. In some cases the addition of this field exceeds the custom field limit set by Salesforce.
The following Help Link in Salesforce outlines these limits by edition:
At the moment we are unable to take this field out of the DupeBlocker install, but hope to be able to make the change in a future release. In the meantime the only solution would be to remove an existing custom field that is not being used.
