When importing solution getting relationship error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 26

When importing a solution from one environment to another I am getting the below errorr, how can I resolve this?

The entity relationship role of the referencing entity is required when creating a new one-to-many entity relationship msdyn_solutioncomponentdatasource_Annotations.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    There was a change done in May, 2020 that removes the annotations from internal Microsoft Entities, which remove from the system relationships like

    • msdyn_solutioncomponentdatasource_Annotations
    • msdyn_solutionhistorydatasource_Annotations

    Here are some Possible Workarounds:

    + Remove entirely annotation entity from the custom solution in the source Org;

    + Or remove only the ObjectId lookup and the relationships msdyn_solutioncomponentdatasource_Annotations and msdyn_solutionhistorydatasource_Annotations ( since the lookup is removed, the system will not re add the relationships);

    + Or disable FCB.AutomaticallyAddBackingRelationshipForLookups , then manually remove from solutionmsdyn_solutioncomponentdatasource_Annotations and msdyn_solutionhistorydatasource_Annotations. Hence export solution again ( since FCB is disable, the system will not automatically re add the relationships). We can re enable FCB later;

    Hi,

    The annotation entity is the Note entity shown in the entity list, with annotation as its name and Note as its display name.
