If "(Cannot display the item name)" appears in the error message, it may be because you do not have permission to view the field in which an error was detected.
In order to solve the error, you need to ask an app administrator to check the settings of the app.
For details on how to resolve the issue, see the following page.

If you cannot locate the field indicated in the error message

If the field name mentioned in the error message is not found on the screen to edit or add a record, there is a possibility that the field name is hidden. Look for the field with error details displayed below it, and modify the input value.

If you cannot find the field with error details, there is a possibility that the field is temporarily hidden due to customization using an API or a plug-in.
Ask an app administrator to check if there are any problems in the app's customization or plug-in settings.

Note that, even if a field name is set to be hidden on the app form, the field name will be used for error messages and filter settings. For this reason, make sure to assign a field name that is easy to identify.

Error solutions

See below for solutions to the errors that are displayed below fields.

Error: Required.

If this error appears, it means the field cannot be left empty and needs to be filled in.
If a "Lookup" field is set as a required field, a value needs to be successfully retrieved by the field.

Error: Format is not valid. (Date, date and time, or time format)

If your kintone display language is set to English, dates need to be in the "month/day/year" format, with slashes used as separators (e.g., 06/05/2020). If your display language is set to Japanese, dates need to be in the "year-month-day" format, with hyphens used as separators (e.g., 2020-06-05).

Times need to be entered either with the 12-hour clock format (e.g., 05:25 PM) or the 24-hour clock format (e.g., 17:25), depending on which format you are using.
You can change your time format in your personal settings.
