wrong layout type

Error message

wrong layout type

What it means

Sentinel ErrWrongLayoutType. Returned when an operation targets an unsupported or mismatched layout: changeAttrViewLayout rejects layouts outside {table, gallery, kanban} (model/attribute_view.go:1358), and several operations reject applying a layout-specific action to a view whose layout does not support it (lines 1752, 1800, 1940, 4952).

Solutions

1. Only switch to one of the supported layouts: table (0), gallery, or kanban — check the current LayoutType constants.
2. Guard layout-specific operations with a check on view.LayoutType before submitting.
3. If the client is older, update it so its layout enum matches the server's av.LayoutType values.

Example fix

// before
changeAttrViewLayout(av, view, av.LayoutType(99))   // -> wrong layout type

// after: use a supported layout constant
switch newLayout {
case av.LayoutTypeTable, av.LayoutTypeGallery, av.LayoutTypeKanban:
    changeAttrViewLayout(av, view, newLayout)
default:
    return av.ErrWrongLayoutType
}

// Only allow supported layouts
switch newLayout {
case av.LayoutTypeTable, av.LayoutTypeGallery, av.LayoutTypeKanban:
default:
    return av.ErrWrongLayoutType
}
// And guard layout-specific ops by current layout
if op.IsTableOnly() && view.LayoutType != av.LayoutTypeTable {
    return av.ErrWrongLayoutType
}

// TypeScript guard
const SUPPORTED_LAYOUTS = new Set([0 /*table*/, 1 /*gallery*/, 2 /*kanban*/])
function isSupportedLayout(t: number): boolean {
  return SUPPORTED_LAYOUTS.has(t)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling setview to switch a view to an unsupported layout value; or calling a table-only operation (e.g. column align, column freeze) on a kanban/gallery view; or a gallery-only option on a table view.

Common situations: Client constructed a layout enum value not in the supported set (e.g. an old client sending a removed layout); applying a table column op without first checking the view is a table; plugin assuming a specific layout.
