When I try to create multiple categories

[JesusSGD]

When I try to create multiple categories, api rest show (1.url': "Url is required and can't be empty",...) for all items, but using postman and sending small chunks works.

[
{
"name":"Paños húmedos",
"parent_id":180
},
{
"name":"Jabones Antisépticos",
"parent_id":180
},
...11 more
]

Hi @JesusSGD Are you using this endpoint: https://developer.bigcommerce.com/docs/rest-catalog/categories/batch-metafields#create-multiple-metafields
Can you send a screenshot of the error message?

Hi, thanks for your comment. I'm using the catalog/trees/categories endpoint and sending the data in small chunks to avoid errors. This is just part of a script to initialize the store's categories.

Hello @JesusSGD I just tried the endpoint. Initially I received a 422 error code as well. I noticed that the name field was duplicated. Once I gave it a unique name and url values it worked. It appears the values you are using are incorrect. Also you need to populate the url object.

Hi @bc-traciporter my data have similar names but not are the same, and if that were the problem it shouldn't work when I send them separately,
"Jabones Cosmeticos"
"Jabones Antisépticos"
"Jabones antibacteriales"
i did a test removing the space between the words and it didn't work either. I think there's a limit to the number of records.
Thank you for your time

@JesusSGD I will ask the development team if there is a limit. Thank you

Hello @JesusSGD Sorry for the delay. I just heard back from the development team. This is a bug. There seems to be a problem as you stated when you have > 10 items. So the best workaround is to do as you stated, to send data in small chunks. They are aware of the issue and working on it. Thank you.
