Can I move changes from one update set to another?

I forgot to change my update set and I made changes under a different update set that already included changes from another enhancement I was working on. Is it possible to move those changes to the correct update set?

Yes if you go into your update set and then open the specific update you want. At the bottom there should be a reference filed with the current update set name in it. Just change that to the update set name you want it in and save the record.

Edit: You do have to be carful with certain records like business rule especially if they already exist in the update set as it always updates the same record. If that is the case I would move the update to the default update the then switch to the correct update set and make a minor change to the the BR such as adding a comment.

Hi Jewell

Yes You can move them,

1.Open your customer updates and bring update set field in your list view

2.double click on that cell and give another update set name.

I know you can switch update sets on an update, but I was always under the impression that you want to open the correct update set and remake the change again, something simple just so that it writes to the correct update set. There was a technical behind the scenes reason why just changing update sets wasn't the best answer.
