Hi, did you set the "not null" attribute in your field's definition ?

If so, you should disable that option while your field is already auto-entered.

Otherwize, the PHP-API validation process checks for every field presents on a given layout and apply all supported field's validation options, that's why the validation would fail even if its your primary key.

Another option is to create your record using a different layout which does not have your primary key, that way, there will be no validation applied to that field.

I will consider adding an option to override "not null" validation when a field has en auto-enter option activated
