Description

I get the error below when running the Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate with "Allow management of content types?" enabled on the source list.

• The source list might have been created importing an Excel (not sure if it makes any difference).
• All fields/views are the same in both lists. The only difference between the XML that throw the error and the one that don't is that the bad one has ContentTypesEnabled="true" set on pnp:ListInstance tag.
• When disabling the "Allow management of content types?" on source lists before generating the XML it works.
• It doesn't matter if "Allow management of content types?" is true or false on the destination list.
• It might have something to do with this fix: https://github.com/pnp/pnpframework/blob/0e90d4cface623aee90151f9557faf495d13f325/src/lib/PnP.Framework/Provisioning/ObjectHandlers/ObjectListInstance.cs#L1606-L1607
