  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to copy a taxonomy that has not been saved in the system.

  Navigate to the taxonomy you are trying to copy.
  Ensure that all required fields are filled out and that the taxonomy is in a valid state.

  Ensure that the taxonomy is active and not in a draft state.
  
  
  
  Retry the Copy Operation: 
  
  Once the taxonomy is saved, attempt to copy it again.
  If the operation is successful, the error should no longer appear.
