sys_metadata_delete entry in update set

[ShAn21]

Hi folks,

I just deleted one field from a table and I can see a entry of type sys_metadata_delete in my update set.

When I have previously deleted the fields from any table I usually saw only 2 entries. label and dictionary.

Can someone explain why is this entry present? Is it bcoz this field had data in the table?

or is it coz I created the new field with the same name?

Is it safe to move it forward?

Thanks

Hi Nasreen,

The solution is to not move the sys_metadata_delete entry to other instances. Also another surprising this is we dont have any delete entries for old fields. Anyways thats also not required. Everything worked fine.

Thanks

Hi @ShAn2 

Did you remove the Delete Application File records from your update sets?
I did same but still it gives me error as type cannot be changed from true/false to String for the field which was deleted and recreated.
can you suggest?
