Solutions not publishing all changes between environments (unmanaged)

Posted on by KELineberry

We are customizing forms and using an unmanaged solution to move from DEV->UAT->PROD. We aren't doing anything new and have made these types of form revisions many times in many entities.

Last month, we encountered an issue where everything is perfect when we export the solution from DEV, but when we import and publish to UAT, the forms have "merged?" for lack of a better term. Any additions we made to the form (added another field to a section, rearranged fields, added processes, etc...) import and publish with no issues.

However, any changes we made to remove a field from a section, hide/show an existing field or section, remove a section or tab, etc. are still on the form after the new form has been imported and published. The only way to remove components from the form is to manually go into the form in each of the environments and make the changes.

RE: Solutions not publishing all changes between environments (unmanaged)

We did this after opening a ticket with MS. It reset our form back to what appeared to be the original OOB version in Opportunity and we had to re-import an earlier version of the solution prior to doing this. The form does now reflect that the items we removed are now gone, but it was an anxiety inducing process.

Also, the Status tab we removed on the Project form is still present. We removed all the components from the tab, so it is empty and shouldn't have anything anchoring it to the form.

In 5+ years, I have never had anything like this happen before.

Hi,

Please check solution layer as described in below link:

Also, We should use the managed version on UAT and Prod instances so that any users can perform direct changes to development components as described in below link:

Hi,

Before you import the solution, I recommend you to check whether the "Customizations.xml" file included in the zip solution file.

If there is not such a file, please publish the solution again and export it.

If the problem is not solved, the following link may help you.
