CRM 2011导入托管解决方案会覆盖系统视图更改

Question

In production environment if I change some system view, for instance "Quick Find" and add another view/find column, then if I import managed solution from my development environment, the view is overriden and I see all the columns as they appear in dev and I don't see the new added column before the import (in prod).

Any idea why the managed solution overrides my changes in prod? Why doesn't it work like with regular form fields or something like that, that managed solution doesn't override unmanaged change that I'm doing in the target organization.

Answer 1

The views are defined as a part of the entity, and unlike attributes on a entity, do not support accumulative changes (If CRM currently has columns A,B,C,D, and a solution is imported that has columns B,D,E,A, how should CRM handle the import). So views work as a last one in wins sort of auto merge.

You'll need to make your changes to the views in Dev as well so when you import your solution into prod the views look how you'd like, or create views in Prod that are not in Dev.
