Import data from list view captured in update set

Hello experts, may I know how or why importing data from list view (Import) is treated as changes to the platform and captured in update set? It's data and not changing configuration. And how do we check/update if importing data from list view should be captured in update set. I read about 'tables with the 'update_synch' attribute' and when I checked the table that I imported data, it doesn't has the attribute.

 

Advanced thanks!

AF.

Hi @rm231 

 

OOB, Imported (transactional) data is not captured in update sets by default until and unless someone is clicking on "Force to update set" in related link in record form.

 

Can you try the same again in your non-prod , whether it is happening without clicking Force to Update Set. 

Assuming  Import xml /import process you have kept as OOB .

 

Update sets primarily track configuration and customization changes to the platform, such as business rules, form layouts, and table schemas, which are stored in tables that have the update_sync dictionary attribute set to true.
