not clear with your issue can you please explain more

Hi Sowmya,

Give a try with below code. Below code will take input for standard FirstName,Lastname and custom Physical Attributes field.

As you are trying to input values for custom field Physical Attirbutes use the API name in the Object type variable rec. Also I see you are trying to access custom first name and last name fields if thats the case try to change your code same like physical attributes field. But make sure when you are trying to pass the object type to Apex method use API names. 

When I tested with your code though you want the fields to be saved in custom firstname__c and lastname__c fields as your object has standard firstname and last fields (FirstName, LastName) your data is saving in standard fields. In your developer console the values you are seeing is for standard fields. But if you navigate to record in UI you see there is no value in Physcial attribute field or other custom name fields. This is because you are not refering the correct API name.

Js Code
import { LightningElement,track } from 'lwc';
import createContact from '@salesforce/apex/insertContactApexWeb.saveContactRecord';
import {ShowToastEvent} from 'lightning/platformShowToastEvent';
import FIRSTNAME_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Contact.FirstName';
import LASTNAME_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Contact.LastName';
import PHYSICALATTRIBUTES_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Contact.Physical_Attributes__c';
export default class InsertContact extends LightningElement {
   
   @track  rec = {
        FirstName : FIRSTNAME_FIELD,
        LastName :LASTNAME_FIELD,
        Physical_Attributes__c: PHYSICALATTRIBUTES_FIELD
    }
    handleFirstNameChange(event) {
        this.rec.FirstName = event.target.value;
        window.console.log("FirstName", this.rec.FirstName);
    }
    
    handleLastNameChange(event) {
        this.rec.LastName = event.target.value;
        window.console.log("LastName", this.rec.LastName);
    }
    
    handlePhysicalAttributesChange(event) {
        this.rec.Physical_Attributes__c = event.target.value;
        window.console.log("PhysicalAttributes", this.rec.Physical_Attributes__c);
    }
    handleClick() {
        createContact({ con : this.rec })
            .then(result => {
                this.message = result;
                this.error = undefined;
                if(this.message !== undefined) {
                    this.rec={};
                    this.dispatchEvent(
                        new ShowToastEvent({
                            title: 'Success',
                            message: 'Account created',
                            variant: 'success',
                        }),
                    );
                }
                
                window.console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
                window.console.log("result", this.message);
            })
            .catch(error => {
                this.message = undefined;
                this.error = error;
                this.dispatchEvent(
                    new ShowToastEvent({
                        title: 'Error creating record',
                        message: error.body.message,
                        variant: 'error',
                    }),
                );
                window.console.log("error", JSON.stringify(this.error));
            });
    }
    
}

Hi Sowmya,

In the above code FirstName and LastNames fields are standard contact fields where LastName is the required field. I guess this error will occur when you are trying to input records without giving the required fields like LastName and giving custom field values (PhysicalAttributes__c). Record will not be created if the required fields are missing and gives error. If you are trying to input both Standard name fields and Custom name fields you have to first import them like with API name in addition to eixsting import statements like below and change entire code to accpet the values like PhysicalAttributes__c.
import FIRSTNAME_CUSTOM_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Contact.FirstName__c';
import LASTNAME_CUSTOM_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Contact.LastName__c';
Hope this helps!

Thanks
