filed length modification is not effective through update set

[learn nv]

Hi All,

I have increase the length of the created by filed in attachment table and captured the change in an update set.

When I deployed to higher instance, the length of the filed is updated but not effective, so the issue our business facing is not resolved.

I manually modified the length of the filed, then the change is effective and not seeing any issues.

Can some one suggest what might be the cause for this behavior? How can I modify the length of the filed using update set effectively.

Hello @learn nv ,

It might have happened that you missed capturing that change,

But you can export XML and import it to higher instances.

and can move files using XMLS. Try changing again and check if new entry is created or not in update set . if not created then try moving that using XML's

Thanks,

Change is captured properly in update set and I could see filed length is modified(to 50 from 40).

I think export and import of that record might work. I will check this way.

Please verify that the required change was captured in the migrated update set correctly or not. The field customizations are captured in the default application scope so, verify that it is not captured in another or default update set.
