Error: dynamodb condition does not exist

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
Condition expressions are widely used to specify whether a writing operation should be carried out or not. When the condition expression evaluates to false, the AWS SDK or CLI will raise the DynamoDB condition does not exist error.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
You can find this error by either deleting the ConditionExpression
from your DynamoDB code or modifying the parameters and data to satisfy the condition.
