Hi,  
I am using the Node 'node-red-contrib-salesforce and am having issues with the **'DML**' node.  
I am creating a msg.payload that contains what I believe to be the correct formatted data, but the resultant nod gives the error **"TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of null"**

Inbound payload is

```auto
{
    "id": "a00Dn000003tBGyIAM",
    "Submission_Link__c": "Unexpected error in processing the request",
    "Submission_API_Return_Code__c": 500,
    "Submission_Id__c": "Dn000003tBGy",
    "Submitted_Date_Time__c": "2023-01-10T13:18:28.167Z"
}

```

Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi @inniss

A quick look on that node's GitHub repository shows an issue raised for this a couple years ago - [DML node raising error: "Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of null" · Issue #38 · Stwissel/node-red-contrib-salesforce · GitHub](https://github.com/Stwissel/node-red-contrib-salesforce/issues/38)

Does not appear to have been resolved.

Many thanks for the swift reply, I am using this node after the sudden disappearance of **alpine-code/node-red-contrib-salesforce** which worked until yesterday....
