A field wasn't created in the destination

Shuttio could not create a field in the destination and skipped it, so its values were not imported; add the field in the destination by hand if you need it.

What you see

On the run page, open the Errors tab. Under the object that holds the field, there is one row per field. The row says the field "wasn't created in" the destination, so no records got its values. The field name, the destination and the object's plural noun change with your migration. Below that, a reason line gives the reason recorded for the skip. The next step reads "Add it in" the destination "by hand if you need it."

Why it happens

Shuttio could not create this field in the destination and skipped it, so no records got its values.

The reason line under the sentence is the reason recorded for that field's skip. It can differ from field to field, so read it first.

How to fix it

  1. Read the reason under the sentence. If you do not need the field, you can stop here.
  2. If you need it, create the field in the destination yourself, using the name on the row.
  3. Before your next migration, the Fields step shows each field's target.

If the reason is unclear, email help@shuttio.com with the migration number from the side rail.
