CRM 2016 solution export from 9.0 to 8.2

(0) ShareShare

Hi,

At the moment we have 3 databases:
- old sandbox : version 9.0
- sandbox : version 8.2
- production : version 8.2

We create and test solutions in the sandbox. If it all works fine we export these and import them in the production.

No worries there.

Now our old sandbox is migrated to version 9.0 and when we export a solution and try to import it again in the production then it fails.

It seems that we cant export a solution from version 9.0 to a version 8.2 production.

It was possible to export from 8.2 and import in 8.0 or 8.1 or 8.2

Why is this not possible from version 9.0 to 8.2?

    9.0 is a major (full) release which contains breaking changes (things such as multi-select optionsets and Javascript changes) that are not backwards compatible with 8.2.

    ok.. we were hoping to first migrate our sandbox and test all functionallity there and after a week or 2 migrate our production database. But in the meanwhile we cant develop solutions in our 9.0 sandbox and import them in our 8.2 production. We will change our strategie. Thanks!
