CSOM Error: Cannot complete this action. Please try again

Hi Guys,

Today i came across with the above error while doing add operation in SharePoint 2013 Online site using CSOM. Reason why I am sharing this is because, for me it was very weird during initial stage of troubleshooting as it says "Cannot complete this action."

The first thing hit into mind after this error was that "some updates must be happening to this Online site" but later on i realized that if updates are taking place then it will say "site is in read only mode....".

After that I debugged and find out that error was with one of the DateTime column which I was updating and reason was that it was having the value "01/01/0001".

Here strange part was that InnerException was null and to find out the exact error you have to dig inside the Exception object and somewhere you will find that Culprit Column Name.

Hope some one will be benefited out of it.

Thanks.
