I have a model-driven app where I needed to change the datatype of a field in a table from "textarea" to "multi-line text" (I need more than 4000 chars). I deleted the field and added it back with the same name and new datatype. Now, when I try to import the managed solution that contains that table as an upgrade in another environment, I get this error:
Attribute <field name> is a String, but a Memo type was specified.
How can I get the destination env to also delete the field and re-add it? I'm not worried about losing data, btw.
Issue two copies of the solution; one with the field deleted, but not yet re-added, another with your new field copy. Then import the delete one first--as upgrade--and it will delete the old field. Then import the one with the field re-added and it should go in without issue.
