[5.x]: Invalid Entry Type ID: 8 when trying to delete an entry

[JayBox325]

What happened?

Description

I am receiving an "Invalid Entry Type ID: 8" error when I try to delete an entry or revert it to a previous version. The ID 8 is an entry in another site that is not being referenced by the entry I'm trying to delete or change.

I have tried removing all content from the entry I'm trying to delete in order to get past this, but nothing seems to resolve it.

Steps to reproduce

1. Try to delete an entry in my CMS.

Expected behavior

I'd expect the entry to be deleted.

Actual behavior

The error warning appears.

I think this resolved itself, but I believe it was when a page was marked as "edited" and I tried to delete the entry it threw this error, which is still not a great AX.

Looks like this could be caused if an entry’s type is no longer allowed by its section/field.

Just fixed for the next release.

Craft 5.6.2 is out with that fix. Thanks for reporting!
