"We couldn't create your rule. Please try again." error with restricted list permissions
I setup a list with the following restrictions (under list Settings > Advanced Settings) so that users can create/see/edit only their records: Read access: Read items that were created by the user ...
I'm seeing the same issue, I can't create rules on a Sharepoint list, the system just throughs this error. It is regardless of the type of rule as well.
Identified this is a permissions error
The owner needs to open the list and select: Settings > List settings > Advanced settings. Under Item-level Permissions, the Read access option must be changed to Read all items.

- Yes, I mentioned this in my original post. But it defeats the point of wanting restricted permissions on the list.
DCKan The way I got around that was by using power automate, not lists automation.
- Did the same. Not ideal but it works.
I still think since a list owner has full permissions on all list records, he/she should be able to do list automation and not have to resort to Power Automate.
