Jun 04, 2021Hi Alex,
what kind of object are you trying to deploy? If the scope is not correct maybe that you are deploying a Site template in a subsite.
In the XML you should see something like:
<pnp:ProvisioningTemplate ID="TEMPLATE-8F4D883BE25B442FB9F889C351D3EA0B" Version="1" BaseSiteTemplate="SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0" Scope="RootSite">
If the scope is RootSite you can not deploy it as a subsite.
Hope this helps

Thanks a lot, it was helpful.
Unfortunately now I find a different error while I deploy: Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate: Duplicate field name found
is there no way to make it ignore the duplicate elements?- andrea_rucciJun 04, 2021

Hi Alex,
you can have no duplicate internal name fields in SP.
You could modify the internal name mantaining the same display name.
Is the errore regarding a custom or native column?
