We have this field that is a Container with an auto enter calc, but when we migrate the solution, the contents of this field is replaced with a text that says untitled.txt.
We have tried the migration twice in two different servers and it happened the same in both.
The calc in the field it checks another field that has been renamed, That is the only thing that I can think of
Hello
You might be right about the Auto-Enter calc referencing a field that has been renamed. But I am not sure.
I think you may need to do the migration over two or three sequential deployments. That is you may have a situation where you can’t do the change you want to make in one pass. You have to do it in stages.
In this case, you could create a temp field in your Dev file and fill it with the AutoEnter Container fields contents, using a replace. Then use a post deployment script to fix your broken data by replacing the data with the values in the temp container field. Then in a second Deployment later, delete the Temp Container field.
Hope that helps

Thanks for the tip.
I would like to know if it is supposed to recalculate the auto enter in the migrations, because I didn’t think so, and in this case, why the the container change? is it because it change the name of the field referenced in the formula?
Hello,
When you setup the deployment did you set the option to -reevaluate calculations?
How did you reference the other container field in the the auto-enter calc.
Thanks
Todd
sorry I didn’t answer, I don’t know if that option was set but I guessed so.
