Sage 100

Upgrade to 4,40 - just a warning - this is the second time that some of the UDFs from the CI_Item file have disappeared during an upgrae to 4.40. One was from 4.30 and the other was from 4.10. This last upgrade, I went from 18 pages of items with UDF info to 5. WTF? Had to export and import to fix.

Do you mean the values within the fields or the fields themselves?

The values. Just got wiped clean in 2/3 of the items that HAD values. And not the first time...so I gather it's another bug. YES! LOVE IT!

I had the same thing happen twice. Sage told me to delete the IM_90 UDF tables for anything over 4.20. But that wouldn't apply to 4.10 like you said. The first time I had to import them with VI.

Did it delete just SOME of them, or all? I could understand all, but this partial thing is a real pisser, because you check and it looks OK, then you find out you were wrong. At least this surfaced before they went live again.

Was there any sort of validation on the UDFs that went missing?

I had that happen as well a few months ago on a MAS 200 EES upgrade from 4.30 (1.30) to 4.40 (1.40). I didn't happen to discover any rhyme or reason but would be interested to know if any exists.

The only details I can tell you is that I had 8 UDFs, some string, some numeric. If they went missing, every single one of them went missing. (An item either had them all filled out, or had none filled out, depending on the type of item.) There was validation on only one field. The ones that had the info deleted had nothing in common that they did NOT have in common with ones that kept their info that I could see (all had extended descriptions, different product lines, etc, etc).
