Limitations
The Snap does not always fail when you pass data for existing primary keys.
The Snap does not support certain Unicode, Special, and UTF-8 byte characters due to the API limitation.

Workaround: You must decrease the batch size and retry.The Snap fails and updates the error view with the error message from API when you pass invalid values for a mandatory field.
