Dear all,

Hi @etwardowska ,

This can happen when the user is deleted or any such cause wherein the profile page of the user is not available.

To remove this error, I would suggest that before adding any filed, you can check if the value exists with ?has_content or you can assign a default value with Freemaker wherein no redirection is carried.

Documentation for the same:
