Removing column in the context of solutions

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ro_consult_iv 15

Hi Community,

I have the following scenario and I'd like to know what would happen:

Have env - Prod and env - Dev

- Entity 1 with columns a,b,c

- env Prod contains a managed solution with entity 1 and columns a,b,c

- env Dev contains an unmanaged solution with entity 1 and columns a,b (c was included in the unmanaged solution but deleted)

If I export the dev unmanaged solution as managed and import it into the Prod instance, will I lose the c column?

Thanks!

    Hello,

    It depends on what you will choose as option while importing the solution, this is described here :

    Thanks for the answer, the upgrade would be the way to go here, though I wouldn't want to lose the column. Could there be a safe possibility to export an unmanaged solution from prod with the lost column only and import it into dev, to kind of restore it?
