messsage.column 'xx' does not exist.It may have been deleted by another user after migrating from SP 2013 to SP 2016 for lookup column

Question

Hi,

Recently we have migrated our site from Sharepoint 2013 onpremise to Sharepoint 2016 onpremise. we are getting
"messsage.column 'xx' does not exist.It may have been deleted by another user" error for lookup column. We have list country which has country name and country value column in root site collection. we created lookup column in en-us web. but getting this error. Could you please suggest what could be possible cause and any action?

thanks

Hi @PRASHANT VYAS ,
I suggest you do some troubleshooting:

1. What migration tool are you using?
2. Does your migration process migrate the entire site including source and target lists or migrate lists one by one? If it is a one-by-one migration, it is recommended to try migrating the entire site including the source list and the target list.
3. What did you do before this error occurred? It would be better if you could provide some screenshots.

Thanks,
Yanli Jiang
