Can't update my deployed managed solution

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi there,

I have 2 environments, Development and Test.

I have a solution in my development environment which was previously deployed as a managed solution to my test environment.  This has now been tested by users and changes were required, so I have made these changes in my Development environment.

When I try to deploy these changes (via Solutions -> Export then Import) back into my test environment, it gives me an error:  "Fields that are not valid were specified for the entity."

After reading around it appears to be because the test solution is managed.  Some of the changes I made were changing data types of field (example, FieldA was an OptionSet, it is now a MultiSelect OptionSet).

How do I deploy my changes?  It will not let me alter or remove FieldA from test environment because it is a managed solution.

Thank you

    Hi,

    I assume you kept the same schema name for your fieldA after changing the type . Can you confirm that?

    As a good practice:

    OptionSet: add Code at then end, for example fieldA schema name will be: pref_fieldACode.

    TwoOptions: add is at th begening for example fieldA scema name will be pref_isFieldA

    You have to change your schema name. Please use the best practice when you choose the schema name.

    - Lookup: Add Id at the end.

    - OptionSet Add Code at the end.

    - TwoOptions: Add Is at the beginning
