Error while deleting/ updating an extension field via Cloud Applications studio 1411

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to change the data type of an extension field in the extended BO. The solution is a patch. For this, first I am trying to delete the existing extension field and then add it again with new data type. But every time I delete the existing extension field and activate the extended BO, I get the following error:

I need to change the CompetitorFireSprinkler field's data type to a code. Any thoughts on this ?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Shruti,

You cannot change an extension field once deployed. You need to create a new one with some other datatype you want.

Best!

Hello Shruti,

That's the so called "Maintenance Mode".

It shall prevent that a data loss happens.

In the same patch you can delete or chnage the field as you want.

But as soon as the patch is assembled (== field is delivered) , this is no longer possible.

At the moment go ahead with Renandos suggestion:

-> Create a new field.

Bye,
