Error: "Item Reference not found (YOUR REFERENCE NAME)"
Legacy Silverlight designer will not allow deployment in this scenario hence this is limited to HTML5 Designer.
Symptoms

Resolution

For the time being try to avoid special characters in K2 artifact names. Also see: https://help.k2.com/kb000299
