Hello,

I have created a catalog item in our Dev instance that references a table that I created using an import set. The catalog item works well in the Dev instance so I am attempting to move it to our Test instance. When I preview the update set in test it completes with no errors. However, when I go to commit the update set I get the below warning which I have not seen before. These tables to not currently exist in the test environment yet. I am wanting to understand exactly what will happen if I press Proceed with commit, will I loose the tables and all the data in the table? What do I need to change in my Dev instance so I don't loose any data from the table.

Did you create a delete a column or record in your update set? Do the table and the fields in your screenshot here exist in the test instance already?

Yes there are references to the delete in the update set but I am trying to think about this logically. I am very inexperienced with Service Now so I want to make sure my understanding is correct before I make the wrong decision.

When I look at the names of these dictionary entry I think that they may be referencing the import set that I created to load the data from an excel spreadsheet to the table. I then did a clean up and deleted the import tables which I think this is what it is looking at which is why they are being flagged here.

This table and fields do not exist in our test environment.
