Unable to Create New List from Existing SharePoint List - List subaction 22

Question

I'm creating a new Sharepoint List from a existing List, based on Template Issue Tracker and I'm getting following error:
Action 1 (createSPList) is invalid. List subaction 22 (addSPView) is invalid. Parameter viewDataXml has an invalid value.
What should I need to check?

Answer 1

Hi @Lutterbeck, Petra ,

Did you delete Issue tracker list default view(All Items)? Pey my test, i deleted All Items view then i got this error when try to create list from exsiting list.

You could create custom list template as a workaround. This article is an overview about how to create and manage custom list templates using Microsoft PowerShell: Creating custom list templates.

I worked around this by exporting the original list to Excel, then creating the new list from the Excel. Colum setting won't transfer (like choice definitions for choice data type), but all the data did transfer. You can try this until someone figures out what is causing the error.

I had the same error (see ref at bottom of this comment).

I did three actions and I believe its the third one that made it to work but I let you judge

1- Delete a record having mandatary fields not filled in (showing errors)
2- Re-index the list in advanced feature setup
3- * Delete the JSON code in the advance mode of the last column I had changed formatting code and went back to original « Conception mode »

And then the copy of the list start to work again.

I know some of you said you did not change anything lately in your list but for me it did fix my copy issue

Ref : error = Action 1 (createSPList) is invalid. List subaction 22 (addSPView) is invalid. Parameter viewDataXml has an invalid value

I had the same problem and requested for an answer from microsoft support.
At present, there has been a report that this problem has been restored.

Answer 5

Hi!
I have the same problem, trying to create a new list from a list i already have, but i get the same code as you guys did.
Ref : error = Action 1 (createSPList) is invalid. List subaction 22 (addSPView) is invalid. Parameter viewDataXml has an invalid value

So i created a empty list and tried to copy that one, same results. Any idea?
