So I have need to move customizations over from Production over Dev. I’ve done it a million times in SuiteCRM 7 where I export the customizations in Studio and then Import them to the other install, repair and rebuild and my fields and layouts come over.
In SuiteCRM 8 I can create the export file no problem, I looked in the file and it contains all the vardefs, language files and metadat (great!). When I import, it proceeds without error. I look in the custom folder and it has copied it all over, but none of these customizations are available in studio or on the front end?
Anyone done an import/export on SuiteCRM 8 and have any tips? Or is this a bug? I see a bunch of other similar posts to this with no answers.
Thanks @pgr. I did an R&R and did all the JS rebuild stuff. I can see in the directory all the vardefs came over and all the metadata and language files.
If I just copied this over to a SuiteCRM 7 install and did an R&R, it would sync the DB with the vardefs and all would be good.
So I’m thinking there is a larger problem here in SuiteCRM 8 that the R&R is NOT actually syncing the DB with the vardefs as it should.
I also did a php bin/console cache:clear and still no luck.
If there is something else that needs to be done to get this to show up in Studio and on the front end, then I would think whatever else that is should be executed as part of the R&R, if this is supposed to work.
I’m going to double checkt he DB and see if it created the fields in the DB even.
