Not seeing the same fields on a new feature when logged into a different company. #320

Closed asubi closed 10 months ago

asubi commented 11 months ago

I created a new feature in one company with certain 10 fields. At one point, I opened the Simple Object Designer in a 2nd company within the same sandbox environment and I may have adjusted a field in that company.
I then returned to the 1st company and added 20 more fields. When I opened the feature in the 2nd company the fields I had added were not there. There does not seem to be a synchronization between companies on Features. Is there a way to synchronize the Features? I will be deleting the 1st company but want to make sure the Feature is intact as I had built it in the 1st company.

... FULL STOP!

Extensions are not "per company", they are per environment. You should only operate SOD inside a single company (and always the sale). Currently, we do have an issue with features getting messed up if you operate from different companies.

So, please, stay in the first company :)

That is unfortunate...I would have hoped these tables were cross-company tables. I was thinking of synchronizing the Feature tables with a configuration package. Is that possible, or is there a risk?

There are some other issues, you should never work on more than a single app at a time....

(We are working on an idea for having your "app" actually being two apps, working on both at the same time, but that's for 2024)

I am only working on 1 app. The issue was I didn't know I could only work on the app from within one company only... I assumed the app would be the same for all companies in the environment, so I did not make sure I was accessing the tool from only one company.
I expect to need to clean up the companies and delete the company I am currently working in. That is why I would like to access my app from another company...

If I RapidStart the SOD tables and import them into another company, that should work?

hougaard commented 11 months ago

You can use the "Export" and "Import" functions on the setup page if you need to have your "source".

Anyway, only use SOD in a single company, after publishing you can test all the changes in any company.
