Not able to export

Hello,

I run the latest version of Anki on Windows 10. Whenever I try to export my master I get the following error:

anki.errors.TemplateError: Card template ⁨3⁩ has a problem.

Can someone please tell me how to fix it? I tried with and without add-ons and checked the database.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

anki.errors.TemplateError: Card template ⁨3⁩ has a problem.

Can you share the third card type of the template the cards you want to export have?

If you edit one of the cards, click on Cards, and select the third template at the top, you’ll be shown an error that you need to fix.

Thank you for your answers. I want to export my whole collection. So I guess that you mean the third template in the browser?

It is actually just a simple basic note type. I guess the weird name comes from the fact, that I imported that note type from a previous version of anki?

Here it is:

Select the third card type from the selector at the top of the card types screen.
Since you’re exporting your whole collection, you have to figure out which note type that has a third template is causing the problem.

(maybe the error message can be improved by including the note type name)
