Thanks Doug! What I've noticed is that they are on AST forms that have been Overlaid (but not all of them).
It's very strange. I don't think anyone was messing with that property. I could migrate the form like you said and make them exactly the same. I was just wondering how it got that way to begin with. This was a difference between Dev and Staging forms on 7.6.04 SP5. We are building Prod right now so it will be interesting to see which one Prod matches.

Notice the first number of each of the items - one is 12 and the other 11. That number is the number of properties that are set in the object list. Then, looking for the patterns of property\type\value.... You see the one with 12 properties has one extra property in it 60048\4\0\\ This is property 60048 that is a character type property with length of 0, an empty string. This property is a list of fieldIDs semicolon separated that are defined for the MFS/FTS advanced search capability. Now, this property not being present means NO field is indexed for MFS/FTS This property having an empty string means NO field is indexed for MFS/FTS So, there is a difference in the actual definition in that there is one extra property defined for one. But, as far as an actual difference to the definition, there is no difference...... So, migratory is saying there is a difference because there are a different number of attributes, but it seems to have the logic that notices that although different, the fact that the value is empty means they are not really different when it is showing the display. I think this is a reasonable bug report to say that since migratory is figuring out that the difference is not significant when it shows the details, it should do that before it determines there is a difference and not report there is a difference in the first place. OR You could argue that there is a difference, even if not significant, and the detail should show the difference in the presence of this extra property even though it is not really a difference in the result of the system. (I personally like the first one since there is really no difference in the definitions in this case. NO string and an empty string both mean the same thing.) My guess is that somewhere along the line someone at some point defined a field for MFS/FTS access and then that was removed so the property was created to hold it and then when removed the string was cleared but the property kept. If you migrate the form, the difference will be corrected, but there will be no change to the form functionality.
