Describe the bug / error
@reedpamsft - you've asked to be tagged on those issues with new modern experience
tagging @natalieethell as well for transparancy
A new list experience was released last Friday October 4, 2024 and it is breaking existing list views.
We've had a list we used for years, classic UI and modern UI worked fine until this new version rolled out, now it shows this error message:
Steps to reproduce
I'm not sure how to reproduce, as I mentioned above - we have not made any changes to this list.
I would try to create a list with many lookup columns and put them in the list view.
Expected behavior
Pre-existing views should still work.
