Hello everybody,
I had to change the dataype of a field from Picklist to MultiSelectPicklist. I did so on the development environment, exported the solution as a managed solution. When trying to import it into the managed Test system the import fails with the error message ."Attribute <fieldname> is a Picklist, but a MultiSelectPicklist type was specified."
How can I import a solution with modified type specifications? I tried update ("replaces your older solution with this one" - I expect this to work for modifications of datatypes ) and and upgrade and both failed.
Is there a way to get the modification transferred to the managed solution?
on development system from where the export is done:
on test system
This should be replaced.
Any hint/help would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Worked! A simple thing as that, thank you.
Awesome!!, that's the way to go 😃
Thanks @AhmedSalih, @shashankbhide
In the end, I removed the multiselectpicklist fields from the source solution, exported it. When importing to the destination environment (managed solution) I used the upgrade option. By this the picklist fields could be removed from the destination environment.
Then I added the multiselectpicklist fields again to the source solution, exported this again and imported it using option update to the destination environment.
That's what finally did the job.
Kind regards
Yes, I guess it's by design, not an easy solution AFAIK, I'd create a new field altogether and eventually delete the previous one using managed import from the targe.
Hello, @CPro2, have you tried to delete the solution from the testing environment, and re-import it as a new managed solution?
