Hi everyone,

I’m encountering an error when trying to create file objects. The error doesn’t appear consistently; it might depend on the browser I’m using. For example, it sometimes works on Opera but fails at other times. On Chrome, I personally don’t experience the issue, though some users have reported encountering it there as well.

Here’s a screenshot of the error :

And here is the action setup I’m using :

Has anyone else run into this issue, or have suggestions for troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi!

Thanks for sharing the details.

Is the screenshot you provided showing the entire action setup?

There are some known issues with the _Create File_ action node when the Source Type is set to _Default_. A common solution is to place the _Create File_ action node as the very first node in your action. You can find more information on this in our documentation:

> **[Create file object | Appfarm Documentation](https://docs.appfarm.io/library/action-nodes/create-file-object#usage)**

If this doesn’t resolve the issue in your case, please let us know!
