Issue
- I am exporting a site and it fails with an error like "The Dynamic Data Mapping Template (Automatic Copy): Service Menu has missing reference(s) that could not be found during the process." and a stack trace like in the attached file (site_export_error.txt)
Resolution
- The root cause is that the "displayStyleGroupId" portletPreference is 0 (or blank, which resolves to 0) or, for example, you had programmatically created several pages and ADTs, including setting portlet preferences on those pages to use the custom ADTs. That code didn't set the displayStyleGroupId.
- Make sure to properly set displayStyleGroupId. Fix the templates within your theme to include the corresponding displayStyleGroupId pref as well as cleanup/remove existing portletPrefs or fix the affected portletpreferences rows with an SQL.
- The use cases can be different and therefore so the resolution. What is important, and what we learned so far is that this has to do with some kind of custom code (custom theme, etc.) which does not set displayStyleGroupId properly. Hopefully that should be enough to figure it out for your specific case.
