Has anyone come across this error when trying to update from a drop down? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/0/80c7526d6b6412ecabd9cb4e18a5348a06178182.png) ---

Perspective or Vision? It looks like Vision but add the appropriate tag to your question to attract the right people. ---

He/she says a drop down. Why didn't he show the object? ---

Apologies, this is in perspective. It happens sometimes when the user is trying to add a note or change the drop down. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/b/0b0790122d9744759430e7d1da0c1e70c255781a.png) ---

Do you have examples of entries that cause the issue ? Also, you said > [@brandy\_drevs](#): > > when trying to update from a drop down Updating what ? ---

The DT\_Cat from the Owner that is there to the other option of Manufacturer. I don't have any examples as I am unable to reproduce the error. I just get messages from the users that they got the error. If they are changing 5 lines, 4 will work just fine and the 5th one won't. Sometimes it's the very first line they try to change. That why I was checking to see if anyone had ever run across this error, I'm unable to duplicate it to try to resolve the issue. ---

Maybe it is your tag limit? Just a guess ---

You need to ask users for more details about the context in which the problem occurred. It's very hard to debug something that you can't reproduce... ---

I'll go back to my customers and request more information. Thank you, everyone. ---

That message doesn't look like anything we're piping out as part of the component. Is there any chance there is custom handling for the component to prevent a user from updating the value for any reason? The message and its applied coloring look like something that was put in place within the Designer; even the Component Error messages we seem to have successfully quashed were only ever the default font color. ---

You're right, that does look like custom error handling. @brandy_drevs : Can you share the component's json ? maybe even the view's. ---

"Error: Entry is not allowed." Don't you think it is because some entry value is out of range? or something to do with entry action? ---

A co-worker helped me track down the script for the "label" that is the error. Thanks all.
