Date field change to Time Zone Independent won't deploy to target environment

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10
I updated several fields to Time Zone Independent behaviour in development environment, as we were having significant issues in production with daylight savings time. But the changes won't deploy to our testing environment. I created a new solution, added the date fields in, and changed their behaviour, and deployed it. The solution imports fine, but the changes don't come with them. I tried doing the same thing but with a patch of the parent solution - same thing happened. I tried re-deploying the parent solution with the changes, and on import I got "Something went wrong. Please try again later". I tried again later but got the same error.
On top of it all, there were several formula fields that needed to be updated from saying Now() to saying UTCNow(), which cannot be deployed to any other env because they don't match the field behaviour anymore. I also can't change them back to Now() because that won't match the fields' new behaviours. This is blocking a fix that is required for something unrelated at the moment too. Has anyone experienced this before? Advice is welcome, thank you.

    Hey!
     
    Three important questions
    - When you're moving the solution.. .is it as Managed or Unmanaged?
    - How are you importing the solution? As Update or Upgrade?
    - Did you publish customizations after solution import?

    @PerezAguir HI there,
     
    • The solution is managed.
    • I was selecting Upgrade, but in my trials and errors I definitely tried update as well to see if that would help!
    • Yes I have been publishing customisations. 
    It sounds like this is a known issue when I asked Copilot, it recommends me making the change directly in the default solution in my target environment.
    Let me know what you think, thanks!
     
    Kind regards
