Using the NPSP. When i submit a donation from a web form to salesforce using a click and pledge integrated platform; it creates a correct account and contact but gives me error on the opportunity record creation. String too long ErrMssg

Guess Salesforce concatenates to the click and pledge id his own generated id. How can i overcome this error? Is there a workaround?

    Looks like you're trying to specify a UUID (unique 36 character string) where you should specify a Salesforce Id (18 characters built in a very particular manner).

    I can't view the image, but if you need to store an ID from an external system, make a text field on the object which has the "External ID" property checked.

The forum post Error on Connect Form to Salesforce seems to cover your problem:

We are rolling out the new Connect form, but are getting an error in Salesforce:

Code: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: STRING_TOO_LONG, WID: data value too large: 87b3511b-fbe1-4d03-bda6-6450a1440765

Response:

The error you are seeing is due to the instance being on an old release. The new forms use a 64 character WID and the old release had only 18 character limit on WID.

We need to update all your clients as soon as possible.

Please see the release note: Salesforce PaaS 9.7010: Compatibility Release for Connect 2

From the release notes:

WID field length increased to 40 characters for Connect 2.x forms WID.

It appears to be a mismatch between the field length in Salesforce and what the external component is expecting.
