Hello,

You can resolve this issue by adding the following line to your code:

fieldDict.Add("req_document_type", "8DF7037346A64816B8BBD8700AFCFE15");

This error is coming from the onBeforeAdd server event on the re_Requirement ItemType which is expecting this property to exist.

Thanx! That worked. Can you please explain what this property is and why is it necessary? Also, is there a documentation which mentions a list of such properties that are needed to create an Item of any ItemType ?
