Solution Import failing because BPF Entity has different ID in DEV and TEST (Dynamics 365)

Hi,

I Currently have three BPF in my Dev environment related to entities whose IDs are not the same as in TEST. This is causing issues during import since, whenever I try to import these Processes, they will say there already is a duplicate process existing with the same name. If I choose to leave them out of my Solution, they are marked as missing components.

Here's the Entity from my Test System:

3288.TEST.png

And here's the Entity from the DEV System:

As you can see in the images above, only the prefix here is different (and we did use to have a solution prefixed with new in the past), in DEV i have "new_..." and in Test "ap_...".

Note that I did not delete the corresponding "Business Process" they are both identical but reference an Entity with a different prefix ID.

Now my trick at the moment to exclude these Entities and their related processes from my solution and then to modify my solution.xml file to replace "new..." by "ap..." for the Missing Dependencies, but this is not an optimal long term solution.

I was wondering if someone has an idea on how I could change the prefix of my DEV entities so that it matches what I have in TEST and allows me to export/import solutions again?

Thanks in advance,
