Error: dynamodb put fail if exists

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error message indicates that the put_item
operation has failed because an item with the same value for an attribute specified in the if_exists
function exists in the table.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, ensure that the item you are trying to insert into the table does not have a value for an attribute specified in the if_exists
function.
