SharePoint Datasheet Error: An Error 0x80070057 Occurred. No further information was provided

In the People picker field in SharePoint 2010 Datasheet view, on entering new values, I got this error message: An Error 0x80070057 Occurred. No further information was provided.

An Error 0x80070057 Occurred. No further information was provided

Moreover, the People picker field drop-down was empty!

Fix:

  1. Open your list in SharePoint designer
  2. Edit list columns >> Make some dummy modification to the “Person or Group” column which is causing the problem.
  3. Hit the save button in SharePoint Designer once done.
