Export Customizations dont Create Custom Fields Only the Labels

👨‍💻 Development Help

Good Day Community

I´m trying to export several custom fields using the “Export Customizations” option but when i install the package in my production instance only the labels are created but no the fields.

For example, I created a field named “Brands” and the label is LBL_BRANDS in a Sandbox instance and when exported to Production only appears created the label but not the field, and in the layout only appears the name of the label LBL_BRANDS so I understand that the relation is working correctly but only the field is missing.

Do you have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

I have the same issue, when creating, export and importing new field in 8.4.2 field is not created I see it only in the label in list.

When I tried to import old customization from 7 ver field was created

Same issue today with 7.14. Custom Labels are there in Studio and Labels appear in the edit view. But the custom fields are not in the Studio Fields and there is not input field by the Labels in Edit View. I am using for Contacts

Hello,

this is true. There are two issues pointing into the same direction:

I had found a workaround for that with SuiteCRM 7.
It’s likely it will work with SuiteCRM 8:
Create a subfolder named language under custom/modules/XXX
Example : for fields created for Contacts in SuiteCRM 8, create the folder
public/legacy/custom/modules/Contacts/language

Then try to export your module

Hello Benoit,

great finding!

Just tried it on a 8.9.1 instance and it’s working right away.
Do you have a github account? Want to add your finding to the issue?

Done.
I also mentioned that the problem also exists in SuiteCRM7
