columnview over file not working

Hi,
when I try to do this:

#+COLUMNS: %28AUTHOR(Author) %32ITEM(Name) %TODO %TAGS(Tags)
%CLOSED(Closed) %STARTED(Started)

#+BEGIN: columnview :id "file:~/Org/reading_list.org"

#+END:

I'm getting wrong type argument stringp nil error. Filepath is good
otherwise some different error is popping and columnview is working in that
file. Do you know what can be wrong?

Org mode version 9.6
GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2022-09-13

Best regards,
Vlastimil Vondra

OK, I found out that it is not working if the file (reading_list.org) is
not opened in the buffer. If opened then it works all right.

I guess it should be working like that.

BR,
V.

Fixed, on bugfix.
The not-yet-open file will be automatically opened.
