Could you please post the error that you are referring to.
Qubes 4.0 templateVMs are non-network connected by default and instead

If you were to connect Whonix-ws-14 to a clearnet connected VM you would
have no network connection in the template.

Not unless you configured your template(s) to use Qubes .onion repositories.
