sys_ui_form record not synced up across instances.

[nicholas_wilson]

I have a DEV instance and a TEST instance. The TEST instance is out of sync with the DEV instance.

The sys_ui_form record on the DEV instance has a different sys ID than the TEST instance.

I thought I could go to sys_ui_form on DEV, and use the 'add to update set' button but it adds way too many batched updates to the set and they are cross scoped.

I then thought I could go to the sys_ui_form record, and export the XML and then import into the test environment. This however isn't working either.

How do I move the sys_ui_form record from one instance to the other with the same sys_id?

I wasn't able to get the sys_id's to be the same, but my solution that worked was to capture the sys_ui_form in an update set by updated a field, then removing that update from the field. I did the same thing for the view.

There should only be 2 updates, one for the view, and one for the sys_ui_form (which shows up as sys_ui_form_sections). Then I was able to add the update set to the test environment and even though the sys_id's were different, the system knew where it was supposed to go. How this happens, i don't know.
