Error message

Template doc(id: ${sourceDocId}) is removed, skip duplicate

What it means

Warning logged in `duplicateFromTemplate` when the source template doc is in the trash (removed). Duplication is skipped and the already-created target doc's id is still returned; the faulting input is a sourceDocId pointing at a trashed doc.

Solutions

1. No action needed; duplication of a removed template is skipped.
2. Remove the stale template reference.

When it happens

Trigger: Triggered when duplicateFromTemplate is called with a source doc that has been moved to trash, so duplication is skipped and the empty target doc id is returned.

Common situations: Occurs when duplicating from a template that was deleted. Restore the template doc from trash or choose another template.
