I am getting a message that I need to migrate from v2 to v3 in Azure IoT Central. I click on the migrate button and then enter a new application name and get this error:
We couldn't create your new app
Something went wrong when we tried to create your V3 app. Please refer to the error log to take actions if possible or contact support and reference this error code:
500.120.070.001 / 4osv7p8ihq.23
I am using a new unique name - have tried several with no special characters etc.
Any help wiould be greatly apreciated.
I've also checked that the Device Template names or fields also don't start with a number or contain any special characters.

@Cameron Backus I don't have a V2 version to reproduce the issue. Can you share the complete error log?
Are you following this doc for steps? Migrate your V2 IoT Central application to V3
As mentioned, the creation of your V3 application will fail if any device template has fields that start with a number or contain any of the following characters
(+, *, ?, ^, $, (, ), [, ], {, }, |, )
The DTDL device template schema that V3 applications use doesn't allow these characters. Update your device template to resolve this issue before you migrate to V3.
I understand that you have checked the device template names or fields. Please verify that it doesn't has any of the above mentioned characters.
Just checking in to see if the below answer(s) helped.

Thanks for your reply, yes I’ve checked for incorrect characters but couldn’t find what was causing the issue. I’ve done them all manually which took a while but is working now.
Thanks,
Cameron

@Cameron Backus - This particular error suggests there may be an invalid character somewhere. Clicking on "error log" in the error message will open up a JSON file that shows the details of the exact error. It will show you which template(s) and which field(s) have the issue.
Thanks Troy,
All I was getting was the error code. I must have missed something there but couldn’t work out how to see what it was. I’ve migrated them all manually and is working fine. Just took a bit.
Thanks,
Cameron
