Kelli Colton Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: The field 'Prequalified_Amount__c' either does not exists on the Contact object or it is not of type currency.
Trying to complete the Salesforce Platform Basics, Get Started with Salesforce Platform.
Customize the Salesforce Platform Challenge:
I added the new field under Contacts, Prequalified Amount. The field name was automatically created/assigned as "Prequalified_A__c". The data field type is currency. I tested it to make sure, but I'm getting this error.
Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
The field 'Prequalified_Amount__c' either does not exists on the Contact object or it is not of type currency.
Thus, I manually edited the field name to "Prequalifed_Amount__c", but then this error displays:
Error: The custom field name you provided Prequalified_Amount__c on object Contact can only contain alphanumeric characters, must begin with a letter, cannot end with an underscore or contain two consecutive underscore characters, and must be unique across all Contact fields.
How do I resolve the first error?

When you are trying to validate the trailhead challenges in the hands on org you have to perform the instructions given in trailhead.
You should not modify the field names manually. Whenever a field is created with a label then the API name is auto generated.
Please, double check with the field name which is created in the hands on org so that based on the field name the API name will be generated.
Make sure that you create a field name with Prequalified Amount for which the resulting API name would be Prequalified_Amount__c
I guess you might have created the field with name as Prequalified A for which the resulting API name is generated as Prequalified_A__c
Let us know if any further clarification is required.
please mark this as solved if it's resolved.
Thanks,

You are correct that I created a "checkbox" because that is what the trail's directions state. Am I seeing something that nobody else is?
Sandeep, please see my screenshot. Do you see anything wrong w/ it?
I realize how that might be a little confusing to new users and we'll work on making this clearer via our UX/instructions, but let me know if this makes sense. Thanks
Sandeep
Appreciate your help and listening. <3 Trailhead and I can only get better from here!
"If you were following along in the unit, you've successfully completed a "Prequalified?" checkbox. Now, test out what you learned by making a completely new field. This time around, you'll make a currency field rather than a checkbox. Complete the new challenge below to try out what you learned."
Thank you for your help but I am still struggling!
Here is a screenshot of my Contact Custom Field. I have followed the instructions accurately. Just to be sure I am trying to complete the very first challenge called 'A Quick Introduction to Salesforce'.
Jeff - I cannot give you log in details dur to data confidentiality.
Would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you!
I did try to create the new field - 'Prequalified Amount' with Field Data Type - 'Currency', I am still getting the error. Can you please help me out?
Please right click on the image and check ' Open in a New Tab' to see it clearly.
Argh-I'm also stuck with the same message most others have:"The field 'Prequalified_Amount__c' either does not exists on the Contact object or it is not of type currency."
I've tried to read though the answers here, but as I'm not a developer and I'm going through this to learn salesforce (never seen it before today), I'm stuck.
Like others, I followed all directions, so am confused about the suggestion to add something else (as other responders have suggested), when my instructions don't say to do so:
"From the gear icon (), click Setup to launch the setup page. We use Setup a lot, so remember this step!
Click the Object Manager tab.
Click Contact.
Under Fields & Relationships, click New.
A data type indicates what kind of information your field holds. For this field, pick Checkbox and click Next.
The Field Label is what you see on the Contact page. Enter Prequalified? and click Next.
Click Next and then Save."
TIA for any step-by-step instructions on how to correct this.
Alright, now I got to here, but apparently I'm filling the fields in incorrectly. Help! Field Label: Prequalified Amount. Field Name: Prequalified_Amount.
Right in the same area where the red error box is, that drop down menu next to launch...just toggle to the correct/other one listed then hit the green button again.
Hi guys,
I am also facing the same issue, please help.
Make sure you have created the Field API Named as Prequalified_Amount__c in Contact Object.
also, you have chosen this as Currency DataType
Please check the field-level security (FLS) of Prequalified_Amount__c field.
If you find your Solution then mark this as the best answer.
Thank you!
