Good afternoon, I have been trying earnestly to use the new 7.6.04 Best Practice mode for development but I have to say that I am at the point of wanting to abandon it altogether. Has any one else come to the same conclusion or is everyone either figuring it out or rather abandoning any idea of customizations?
Here is my specific issue... I added a new field to the CTM:People form on my dev server. I did all of the overlay stuff that I am aware of having to do...created form, view, panel field and panel holder overlays. I placed the field in a tab on a panel holder field. I created the field and eveything was beautiful. I then proceeded to export the form to a def file using Dev Studio and imported it into production server which had no changes made to it at all. And the nightmare begins!! I get an error "The value(s) for this entry violate a unique index..." along with a new view of the CTM:People form...with many fields now no longer in the default view or any view. I tried to back out of this by deleting the overlays and the field. The problem now is that while everything seems to be back to its pre import state in production, the field is still showing as a column in the underlying database T table. It is NOT in the fields table...or the view...or anywhere else except it is still a column in the table. I am very frustrated at this point. I hope that I am just not doing something obvious and I can quickly adjust. Otherwise I will probably have to do the hard work of getting to a stable state that I can then just stop trying to use the overlay feature.
