attribute view group

Error message

attribute view group [%s] not found

What it means

When a groupID is supplied, GetAttributeViewPasteRows iterates the table view's groups to find the matching one and narrows it to *av.Table. If no group's ID equals groupID (or the matched group is not a Table), groupTable stays nil and this error is returned.

Solutions

1. Re-read the current view's group list and use a valid group ID (or the group containing the start item)
2. Omit/empty groupID if the paste target is not inside a specific group
3. Refresh the frontend state so cached group IDs are re-fetched before pasting

Example fix

// before
rows, _, err := model.GetAttributeViewPasteRows(avID, viewID, oldGroupID, startID, 1)
// after
groupID := findGroupIDForItem(avID, viewID, startID) // re-resolve from current groups
rows, _, err := model.GetAttributeViewPasteRows(avID, viewID, groupID, startID, 1)

const group = table.groups?.find(g => g.id === groupID)
if (!group) { throw new Error(`group ${groupID} not in current view`) }

rows, _, err := model.GetAttributeViewPasteRows(avID, viewID, groupID, startID, n)
if err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "group [") && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "] not found") {
    groupID = recomputeGroupID(avID, viewID, startID)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling GetAttributeViewPasteRows with a groupID that no longer exists in the table view (group deleted/renamed) or that is not table-backed; stale groupID captured before regrouping.

Common situations: Paste target recorded before the user re-grouped the view, invalidating the old group ID; plugin passing a block ID instead of a group ID; grouped view where group IDs changed after data edit.
