how to fix Agiloft template error clause numbering broken after clause insertion fails error

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in Agiloft by acting on the exact problem first: in Agiloft, inspect whether the inserted clause pasted in with its own fixed numbers, strip the hard coded numbers from the clause text so the template numbering controls the sequence, regenerate, and confirm the following clauses shift correctly. Do not rerun the same lookup, save or generation unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one template first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

Use this when

• The operation in Agiloft fails with this exact problem: how to fix Agiloft template error clause numbering broken after clause insertion fails error.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A clause lookup, template build, contract review or clause report is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with a clause wording or negotiation position. That is a legal owner decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named template in Agiloft and record the full problem text plus the clause, template or agreement involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: in Agiloft, inspect whether the inserted clause pasted in with its own fixed numbers, strip the hard coded numbers from the clause text so the template numbering controls the sequence, regenerate, and confirm the following clauses shift correctly. Verify: the single failing template now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring clauses, templates or agreements that share the same library group, template or approval rule, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in Agiloft on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the approved clause text, the library record or the executed agreement, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the clause library change log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

The how to phrasing for the same failure in Agiloft. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Agiloft troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Agiloft templates number clauses from the template list style, and a clause inserted with hard coded numbers or a different style breaks the sequence because two numbering systems then compete in the same document.

Edge cases

• The clause was republished, the template changed or a library group was renamed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single template proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other items. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared library group, template or approval rule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The approved clause text governs wording, the library record governs status and version, and the executed agreement governs what was signed; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: Agiloft at current versions, plus the clause library, template or review tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
