Error: One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields

Question

I am trying to create a document library by sending the request to the sandbox solution. The request i am sending the request through the WebClient method listed below:

UploadValues(string address, string method, NameValueCollection data);

• where address is the url
• method is 'POST'

• data is a new NameValueCollection with JSON serialization as:

  {"WebID":"45488d60-908f-49b7-aeed-192a71453bb2", "ListID":"2f571dca-a386-4f75-b412-4f7dfa041cd6", "DocID":-1,"DocUrl":null,"AuthorID":null,"EditorID":null, "DateCreated":-1,"DateModified":-1, "ModerationStatus":-1, "UpdateType":"UpdateOverwriteVersion","TaxonomyFieldsWithValue":{},"ContentType":null}

The response I am getting from the sandbox is shown below :

Failed to update the document properties using partial trusted solution.

Error:

One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem because in my code there was a CAML list query referencing inexistent fields I had changed in my primary content type and in the list itself. The error stops after removing o recreating the fields again (in my case I add some code to check and avoid this error).
