Error message

Request not found for ${meta.requestId}

What it means

Template-tag runtime error for {% request %}: the request referenced by the render context's meta.requestId no longer exists in the data store, so its attributes cannot be resolved. Typically a deleted request whose template is still being rendered.

Solutions

1. Re-select the request/workspace in the UI to refresh the render context
2. Check whether the request was deleted while templates still reference it
3. Guard tag usage in environments shared across deleted collections
