I tried to create a replication task but received the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

middlewared.service_exception.ValidationErrors: [EINVAL] replication_create.source_datasets: Item#0 is not valid per list types: [dataset] Empty value not allowed

I did fill out all required fields though. I am not sure which field might be missing because of the missing error handling. The python exception is really not helpful. Can anyone help me out?
I would have wanted to upload a picture of the settings but the forum wont allow that

Yeah, a picture of the task setup will help a lot (plus truenas version).
From the error message seems no dataset Is selected, odd.

You should enhance you trust level before unlock all functionality

This should help

Where can I enter the command/talk to the Bot? Just here?

I fixed the problem. I selected the parent directory and the child directory as source dataset. After selecting only the child it worked.
