Clone Preserve - rows per page, Columns on List, sort of Fields...

How to preserve rows per page, Columns on List, sort of Fields during a clone, so that my settings on Target Instance be the same after the clone, like they were before?

is it done by preserve Theme or do i need a preserve for the tables like User Preferences ?

Hi @Meloper ,

Unfortunately ,Data Preservers work on table records, there is no option to specify fields.

Hi there,

That should be possible. Part of this is just user preferences. Part of this is actually the personalized lists.

Easiest what I find for this to figure out what you exactly need:

For example on a list, do the ordering etc, then immediately go to User Preferences, which ones did just got changed? Those you need most likely 😀

It might get a bit weird though if you also have such on production, and then preserving this on a different instance because this will also have different sys_ids... so you might end up in a spiderweb!

For personalized list layouts, just configure the list you are after, shift a few fields/columns around and go immediately to sys_ui_list. If you filter on sys_updated, you should see a record on top with User being you 🙂 That record + its references is what you need.
