Hi CRM Pros,
i do have a situation like below:
Dev ENV A: Unamanged
Test ENV B: Managed
I do have a Entity X in the Dev ENV which uses a Option Set: TestOptionSet with Values A & B and this Option set is attached to two different fields (imagine field: fieldA & fieldB). so fieldA and fieldB has two option set values respectively a & b
Now the above solution from Dev Environment has been deployed to Test ENV as a Managed Solution so that System Testing can be performed here.
In the mean time there is a new requirement from Client to add a new option set values in the Entity X and with in TestOptionSet and the new values be "c" so which means the two fields i.e. fieldA and fieldB should have the option set values as "a", "b" and "c"
Problem/Issue: since the option set is already attached with the fields which means in order to alter the option set, i have to delete the fields first, update the option set with new value, create new fields with similar data types and re-attach the option set, maintain the same relationships among process, business rules, update the JS Script files with the correct schema name etc and then deploy back into TEST as a managed solution
BUT before i deploy the altered solution into TEST, i have to do another deployment into TEST without the TestOptionSet so that it deletes the current OptionSet and in the subsequent deployment it takes the new OptionSet with value "c".
this whole process looks bizarre, imagine a scenario when an option set is attached with 20 fields/columns so that means you have to do the exercise for all the fields one by one.
I just want to ask all the pros here, Is there any simplified solution for this scenario ? and i believe this is very common scenario.
Many thanks.
