GOAL:
What changes are applied when running Entity Import?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Dynamics
FIX:
Changes made on Entity Import:
Only on New:
Fields updated:
entity_mnemonic
deploy_data
reuse_deleted_keys
entity_object_field
table_has_object_field
entity_key_field
These fields are only updated when an entity is newly created because they are used for relational and referential integrity purposes. Changing one or more of them can have a serious impact on the working of an application.
Comments and auditing join to their parent table using the key field value -
changing these will impact this.
It is possible to change all these values from the Entity Control screen (off the Admin/System menu). However, you need to be aware of the implications (as above) of doing so.
Always (new and update):
- All other fields updated.
- Associations with DataFields updated (if toggle selected).
