Why are checks failing in my Foundry Code Repository after copying from external repo?

Question

The following error observed during the check's execution in master branch (and every branch inherited from it).

A problem occurred evaluating root project. 
    > Failed to apply plugin 'com.palantir.transforms-defaults'. 
    > ChecksException: 
       (TransformsGradlePlugin:NoProjectVersionSet):
        {hint=No project version was set, possibly because there are no git tags., project=clinical-trials-anonymised-repo}

Initially code in this repo was copied from another repo via Windows git cli (git clone $old_repo → copy-paste → git push $new_repo).

Answer 1

When receiving this error you should go to Branches > Tags > New tag > Create a tag "0.0.1" from branch "master". Then create an empty commit on master, and ensure you merge master into all other branches you want to use. Next time you clone a repo like this, make sure you also push the tags.
