Unable to transfer menu items with update set

[Niels Aksel]

Hi Community,

We are unable to transfer portal menu items (sp_rectangle_menu_item) using update sets

Error message:

Could not find a record in sp_rectangle_menu_item for column sp_rectangle_menu_item referenced in this update

Anyone experiencing the same issue and have a workaround?

Also, I would really appreciate a guide on how to handle missing items in general. How can I manually add the missing items to the update set?

Hi Neils,

Are you getting this error while committing the update set?

Hi Anurag,

It is failing in the preview phase. it is very easy to reproduce.

1. Create a new update set and make it current

2. Create a new menu item record in "sp_rectangle_menu_item"

3. Complete the update set and export/import

it will fail in the import - and I dont understand why

I have tried this on two seperate environments with same result

Just 'accept' this update and continue.

This is coming because you have a reference of this item in your update set, and the item doesn't exist yet. hence there is an error.

Thank you

I didn't want to accept the change because I wanted to understand why it was failing. Accepting the update solved the issue and the menu item was imported just fine.

The error message is a bit misleading - is this just one of those things you need to know or is there documentation on this?
