​Hi Everyone,

The error is  "System Exception : Field definitions do not match - the number of columns in each is different"

Thanks
Kumar

Hi Kumar Babu,

Before running the append collection action, check to make sure the fields in the two collections are defined and same. You can get this error if you have 0 rows but no field defined in one of the collections.

Hi Shashank,

thank you for your reply, but in my case I am able to append rows with no fields defined in another action but in different action I couldn't be able to do it. I wonder why it is working irregularly.
is there any alternative to append rows from one collection to other without using this VBO action?

Thanks
Kumar​

Hi Kumar Babu,

Alternatively you can try to use Add Row & Multi Calc action within a loop to append rows from main collection to another collection.
