Description

The __repr__ print for OpenML objects is called from here. The _get_repr_body_fields function contains formatters for printing each object. However, if for certain reasons, some of the attributes are missing the print fails by throwing an error, while other functions of the API may work as-is. This can be a confusing behaviour for users.

Having checks to catch and handle such errors in _get_repr_body_fields will be useful to have.

Steps/Code to Reproduce

Representative example:

import openml
task = openml.tasks.get_task(146806)   
print(task)  # fails
