Error importing managed solution: Attribute Display Name for id: xxxxxxx, objectcolumn: DisplayName and labelTypeCode: Attribute not specified

Hi guys,
 
I've developed a model-driven solution, where the previous import was successful, but had to change the display names of some tables and form layouts. Now, I'm getting the below error code and exception message. I have numerous relationships defined as well with business rules and process flow all included in the solution.
 

 

 

Error code
80040203
Exception message
Attribute Display Name for id: xxxxxxxx, objectcolumn: DisplayName and labelTypeCode: Attribute not specified

 

 

 
The app works fine in dev environment, but can't import it as a managed solution into test. Every time I try to import the solution (same managed version) the id keeps changing and can't find any attributes with the id's specified anywhere.
 
I think some controls on some of the forms may reference something that's not actually there anymore, but isn't throwing any errors anywhere when using the app in dev.
 
Any ideas how to narrow down what the issue may be?

    I did the same but the issue still seems not to be resolved "editing the model-driven app in the classic interface - removing the only connected business process flow and adding it back, save and republish repaired my solution."

    Managed to find a solution, and it's not what you think..

     

    It turns out a residual business process flow that I had deleted many iterations ago using the modern UI somehow lingered around, only to activate with this export somehow and wreak havoc. Needless to say, it was nowhere to be found, since it was deleted.

     

    However, Error code 80040203 Invalid Argument error - Dynamics 365 Sales | Microsoft Docs did give me the idea to go into the legacy admin center and take a look. Surprisingly, I found an orphan BPF I thought I had long deleted.. So I deleted it again. This time, for good.

     

    Unfortunately, this didn't not solve the issue since this BPF was in no way connected to anything in my solution. The real issue is still unbeknownst to me, but thought since legacy interface has helped me out once, it might help me out again.

     

    And indeed, editing the model-driven app in the classic interface - removing the only connected business process flow and adding it back, save and republish repaired my solution. Why? Maybe someone more skilled in D365 can answer that question.

     

    So, the real solution here is really this:

    don't expect error messages to tell you where the problem is, instead use them to guide you towards the solution

    @gowrihalan04 thanks for the suggestion, I did look at that article and the error log but couldn't find anything meaningful in there. Maybe I need to set aside an hour to properly go through it though.. I'll report back with any findings. Thanks again
