Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Asset Layout ID is correct and exists in the Hudu system to avoid 'resource not known' errors.
  • Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to update Asset Layouts.
  • Check that the field names provided in the 'Fields' array exactly match existing field names to prevent update failures.
  • If the node throws errors related to unknown resources, confirm that the resource parameter is set to 'asset_layouts' and the operation to 'update'.
  • Use the 'continue on fail' option to handle errors gracefully during batch updates.
