08/29/2025, 10:07 AMOK so here's a dumb 101 issue I'd rather sense check than forum post up. I've updated my templates - run the Umbraco template for LTS (expecting a fairly latest and greatest 13.x)...
Installs but the site doesn't build. Two things
1) It's due to a partial view error - huh - thought views were only compiled at runtime and these wouldn't stop a build (I feel dumb here - you can tell I don't create new solutions very often...)
2) Is there really a bug in the core partial view /Views/Partials/blockgrid/items.cshtml where data-element-key="@item.ContentKey" should be data-element-key="@item.Content.Key" Seems odd this has never been spotted

1.
You mentioned v16 earlier and a upgrade. Now you are talking about “installing” LTS. What exactly did you do? Upgrade? Fresh install? Or did you have a v13 site and just updated the packages?
2.
Most likely left overs from v13 right? Updating the packages references would not update your view files.
Here is what I would do:
install a clean instance of the target version you are looking to upgrade to in a a new fresh folder.
Update package references in your v13 site to v16.
Compare file content from the fresh v16 and adjust the upgrades site where needed.

09/01/2025, 6:24 AMNo - this was a completely clean install from Visual Studio using the Umbraco Template. Instead of specifying a version I had a drop down with Latest or LTS - LTS created an install with this error.

09/01/2025, 6:25 AMI was doing this to test the upgrade path from a vanilla v13 -> v16 to see if my other issue was something in my project only and hit this wall first.
