After exporting a solution as managed and exporting it into another environment. When i load the app i keep getting error below

Error when trying to retrieve data from the network: Column 'field_2' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

I used the upgrade method and I increased a new version when exported.

I also removed the variable from exporting before export and updated the variables when importing.
Everything works well expect its complaining about this particular field.

Could it be a permission issue ( I have all the permissions neccessary) or do i need to do an update not an upgrade

Thanks

@naijacoder,

The error clearly shows the field_2 does not exist, It means in the environment the column in missing in the respective datasource (If its dataverse check the table having any field like this Or It is sharepoint / sql check the column exists)

Create the column and try export and import it will work for you.

.Thank MS.Ragavendar
I found that it was a permission issue.
The main issue is that after an import of the solution my changes aren't reflected from Dev.
I selected the import using an upgrade( Does the update power apps components) I changed the filter items in a dropdown but it didn't reflect.
Should i be doing an update?

Thanks in Advance

Are you using any environmental variables ? If yes do you get the option to set the environmental variables in the new environment ?

Thanks Ragavender.
I discovered that by removing the unmagaed layer in my solution after deployment did the trick and it all updated
