Hi, I have created a solution in our Development environment which is a simple renaming of the label on a form tab. I exported the solution as managed and imported to the Test environment however when Testing the label on the form had not changed. As the full process appears to have completed with no errors I am lost as to what to try next - can anyone advise?

Good Afternoon,
.
The proper answer is around as Rawish suggested.
The form (and sitemap) changes are somewhat special, in the meaning of, even an import of managed solution can not overwrite the local changes done to them.
See details: msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334576.aspx
.
Your described issue is definitely around this: someone made a local change in your target instance too to this form. The proper answerto your problem branches here: is the form custom or out of the box (default), where you have made your changes?
.
The "swiss army knife" answer is this: msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg309329.aspx
.
However, if the form is a custom one (not out of the box), then there can be some shortcuts made, which depends on:
- do you have all the ZIP files of the solutions, which introcóduced and modified this particular form previously?
- is anything blocking you from uninstalling and reinstalling them?
- or is the deletion of the form itself allowed with "managed properties"?
Hi Ian,
i cant figure out where could be the problem, however ... what is your goal?
If your goal is to understand "why not", i can tell you managed and unmanged mixed mode could be painful, if solution (and guids) doesnt match. So i cant help you easily.
However if your goal is simply to update form label i could suggest you to go directly to customization or unmanaged solution: it is not a "critical" task and you could revert it when you want.
Hope it helps!

Okay so generally managed solution doesnt like unmanaged stuff done in the target environment. may be sometimes in the past there must have been some unmanaged changed on that component.
what i can suggest is - in your source you rec-create the form or just that specific component and try to deploy again. If this is keep happening - you will have to delete the form from your target and deploy again.
its a managed solution he imported so no publishing required.
Don't think issue is the republishing of the solution, as this is a managed solution, and since you tried it already, let's skip that. You have already mentioned that you made sure the correct form is part of the solution your are importing, so that should be fine.
I would check the following:
- Try refresh the form that you are experiencing this issue with by using CTRL + F5, to load the latest version
- Try accessing the form using a different browser.
- Try accessing the form using a browser in In-Private or Incognito mode.
Hope this helps.
Hi Pranav - I had published the solution in Dev and also republished in Test when the changes had not worked.
a quick check you can perform
--check what are the entities you have included in the managed solutions. Your customized entity part of your managed solution?
--try to publish the solution
Please accept my response as answer if it helped you.
Regards,
Pranav
