This error indicates that you are trying to add an item template (identified by &1) to a bucket where it has already been assigned. 
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Assignments: Review the current assignments in the bucket to confirm that the item template is indeed already present. You can do this by navigating to the bucket and checking its contents.
  Remove Duplicate: If you need to make changes, consider removing the existing item template from the bucket before attempting to add it again.
  Use a Different Bucket: If the item template needs to be associated with another bucket, select a different bucket that does not already contain the item template.
