Additional Information
Layer views cannot contain spaces in the name. Underscores included in the name are kept. For example, the view can be named, 'US_Points_with_lat_long' and the view is created as expected. If the view name is, 'US Points_with_lat_long', the value contains a space in the name, which causes the issue. To automate the process, use the Python built-in replace function to replace spaces with `_`.Workaround
Include underscores in the Python code when naming the created view layer.
