    HI @Angela Adams ,

    Please check if there are some lookup columns(list column or site column) in existing list.

    Try to create a new list from list template without lookup column to compare the result.

    Per my test, even if I have a lookup column in the source list, I can successfully create a new list based on it.

    The lookup column in your source list appears to be corrupted. Please check it.
