Solution failed to import - SourceType 1, but 0 was specified

Posted on by JB-27040922-0
 When I import a solution I get an error message saying that for one of the fields the /SourceType 1, but 0 was specified/, I know which column (field) is the issue. I have tried to remove from the solution, delete from the environment and create as a new column - with the matching label and values as the originating solution. 
The columns match down to the data type etc. So what is the solution and why won't it import? 
I published all customisations at the point of export. 
I have the same question (0)

    Hello
     
    you need to check with the field this is connected, because once you want to change some data type you need to do a process before it
     
    1-Remove the field from the Dev (your first env,)
    2-Publish all
    3-Export this solution to your PreProd/UAT (your second env.)
    4-Check if the field was removed
    5-Move the same solution (without the field to Prod)
    6-Create the new field with the new data type in Dev, publish again and export the new solution to the other env.
     
    It's a pain, but once you created the field you can't just change the data type and upgrade to the other environment, first you always need to remove it
