Issues with Cloning Map Web App from one Organization to another Organization using clone_items() method

[angularpi]

trafficstars

Describe the bug Trying to use clone-items() method to clone Map Web App from Organization SOURCE to Organization TARGET in ArcGIS Online. The app is in the SOURCE folder along with 5 other apps. There are 7 Maps and about 60 feature layers in the same folder. The script runs for 10 minutes before backing out. I can see several Feature Layers in the TARGET Folder before the clone method deletes them in the back out process.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

from arcgis.gis import GIS

# Log into Source ESRI Portal
sourceURL = "https://SOURCE.maps.arcgis.com/home/" # WriteSource ESRI Portal URL here
sourceUsername = "SourceAdmin" # Write admin username here, the script will promp for the password
sourceGis = GIS(sourceURL, sourceUsername)
print("Successfully logged in as: " + sourceGis.properties.user.username)
sourceGis

# Log into Target ESRI Portal
targetURL = "https://TARGET.maps.arcgis.com/home/" # WriteSource ESRI Portal URL here
targetUsername = "TargetAdmin" # Write admin username here, the script will promp for the password
targetGis = GIS(targetURL, targetUsername)
print("Successfully logged in as: " + targetGis.properties.user.username)
targetGis

# Cloning
webMapItem = sourceGis.content.get("c0ac61f6147c4ce2a83610a31ac31cc0")
clonedItems = targetGis.content.clone_items(items= [webMapItem], folder= 'TARGET from SOURCE', search_existing_items=True)

error:

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Expected behavior I expect clone_items() to copy the Map Web App, the associated Map, and associated Feature Layers from the SOURCE Organization to the TARGET Organization. I plan to execute the same script for each one of the 6 Apps (they share Feature Layers)

Platform (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Home
• Browser Firefox using Anaconda Navigator / JupyterLab
• Python API Version 2.2.0.1 using Python 3.11. (Tried with Python 3.7 and API version 1.8.4 with similar results).

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here, attachments etc.

I am running into this issue as well. I posted in the esri community about it here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-python-questions/feature-layer-clone-items-issue-with/m-p/1418584#M9977

But, it seems that if a layer has multiScaleGeometryInfo, and the layer in the service is not ID=0, I run into this error.

In my case, I have one layer in my FS, and its ID is 156, not 0, it also has multiscalegeometryinfo (I guess it was published from a project with multiple layers in it, but all published individually)

It seems that it is looking for 0 instead of the actual layer id.

I've tested other layers where the ID is similar, but no multiscalegeometryinfo, and it clones fine.
