Solutions

1. Verify the new item template ID exists in the attribute view's newItemTemplates config before using it.
2. List available templates via the attribute view config and pick a valid template ID.

Example fix

Open the database's new-item template settings, copy the template id from the existing entries, and pass that id to the create-item call.

When it happens

Trigger: Creating an attribute view item from a template whose ID has been deleted or was mistyped.

Common situations: Occurs when creating an attribute view row with a new-item template ID that no longer exists, for example after the template was deleted in another view or device.
