Error: Couldn't find provision XXX in the published bill

When generating an official list or updating an existing one, you might encounter an error code along the lines of:

This error is reporting an issue with the Order of Consideration. Whilst attempting to sort the amendments in your official list using the order of consideration, Lawmaker is unable to find Schedule 1 in the published bill. In this case, it was the published bill was a 1 schedule bill and the schedule is known as “The Schedule” rather than Schedule 1. In this case, to fix the error, the user had to remove “1” from the to and from fields. Leaving them empty allowed the sorting function to work correctly.

If you encounter an issue when generating a new list that looks similar to this, or if updating a list doesn’t work, double check the Order of Consideration.
