Question

"Cannot complete this action. Please try again." error in system update list in sharepoint 2013

Ramesh Palaniappan · Answer

This type of error occurs when you have delete/edit something and do not updated.For example if you have deleted/edit one custom view and did not update list, and again you are trying to add a custom view with same title and get that view, then you will get this error.If you have deleted/edit the list or list item and did not update the list, and trying to add new item with same title, then this error occurs.So, before trying to add new item make sure that it was updated.
