Issue Description :-
When converting custom screens to the Modern UI, we encounter the following error:
Error: The view doesn’t exist.

This happens specifically of the custom screens when clicking the Convert to Modern UI action, the system shows the error.
 

Expected Behavior :-
Instead of the error, we should be able to download the Modern UI file that corresponds to the respective custom screen.

 

 

Thank you in Advance

Good afternoon.

Check the converter settings in the web.config file and make sure they are correctly configured. Key attributes to check include shouldFilesBeDownloaded and declareViewsInViewModelFile.

Experiencing this same issue on 26R1 and have updated the web.config but still getting the View Error- Error: The view  doesn't exist. Any more advice as to how to upgrade my Custom Screens? I manually created the folder Development and the sub folders also. ( FrontendSources\screen\src\development\screens\my folder\my folder)

Hi ​@Al Krieg,

Have you converted your custom screen using the Convert to Modern UI action in the Customization Project Editor after adding the data views to your graph?

After running Convert to Modern UI, please check the generated .ts file for your custom screen and verify that all the data views declared in your graph have been added correctly. If any of the views are missing from the .ts file, that could be the cause of the issue.
