Issue

If you have used SharePoint Template Packs (STPs) to move lists between sites on the same environment, a suppressed error occurs during deployment of a K2 pacakge to the list if the list lookups have not been configured. 

When using STPs between sites on different environments, a K2 deployment exception error appears if the list lookup has not been configured. When moving between subsites, however, the service instance name remains the same and the SmartObject call is succesful, and the K2 deployment continues.

Symptoms

When adding an item to the deployed list, the "Sorry, something went wrong - An unexpected error has occurred" error message displays.  

The following error message shows in the deployment log:

Fail Portal_AList
