Changes in party designs are back after updating the BEXIS2.12.1

[navabpourn]

Describe the bug
I installed the BEXIS2.12.0 and changed the party designs. It means I changed, for example, the list of information that a user should fill in the registration time.
After updating to BEXIS2.12.1 on Friday 30.11.2018 the changes on person additional attributes are gone.

Expected behavior
I would like to keep changes even after updating.

Actual behavior

• Additional attributes for a person are changed.
• Clicking on a party type meet error Error by clicking on tabs in manage parties #214.
• I am able to create different party types, even which I created as a new party type.

Additional context
It is maybe relevant that I did not get an email notification from the last user registration.

Here is the modified file:
PartyTypes.zip

Hi @navabpourn,

Are you sure, that you are using the correct PartyTypes.xml within your workspace?

[navabpourn]

Hi @sventhiel,
Yes, I am using the modified file. I reinstall also the BAM.

Hi @navabpourn,

so obviously the party types are different - for some reason. Because otherwise the form after registration should be the same like before the patch. So...,

1.) How does the database look like (schema and data)?
2.) Does the form belong to a previous version of the party types or are just some properties gone?
3.) Is the workspace path inside the web.config correct?

If some of the answers would contain sensitive data, please send me an email.

Best regards
Sven

Dear @sventhiel ,

The party types are not changed, but some information that I deleted from the party attributes are added to the partycustomerattribute table. Here are two screenshots:

Before:

and after update:

I will send you extra information by email.

Hi @navabpourn,

I checked the file "PartyTypes.xml" which is delivered with BEXIS2 (e.g. BEXIS2 v2.12.1) roughly. This file contains "exactly" the same properties, that are now inside your table "partycustomattributes".

As I mentioned before,

Are you sure, that you are using the correct PartyTypes.xml within your workspace?

So it seems, that you started BEXIS2 with that PartyTypes.xml and replaced it later on with yours. But at that time, the table was already created and filled. Copying the file after initialization doesn't work.

Best regards
Sven

Dear @sventhiel ,

In the updating time, I did not create a new database. I used a backup from the old version.
But I reinstalled the BAM when the old PartyTypes.xml was inside the BAM folder. It should not change the attributes, as I know.

Anyway, thank you very much for your explanation.

Best regards,
Nafiseh

But it seems, that the default PartyTypes.xml (delivered with BEXIS2) was inside the workspace you were using at:

• new initialization of BEXIS,
• new Installation of BAM or
• reinstall of BAM

So, I am really sorry, but because of the similarity of properties, these are the only possible reasons.

Best regards
Sven

@navabpourn, was it possible for you in the meantime to verify the reason for that issue?

[navabpourn]

Dear @sventhiel, If I remember correctly we had discussed this issue. The problem happens when a party attribute is deleted. The new installation or reinstall the BAM add deleted attributes again.
