    Hi All,

    I have customized account entity and renamed it "Customer" also I have added new field "Notes" on Customer form. Now I am trying to import  newly created solution where I have added this customer entity from one to amother environment. It is imported successfully.

    But in account form , the "Notes" field is showing for two time.

    Please any one can suggest the solution.

    -Regards

    Anand

    It seems both notes attribute having different field name, check their field name (your solution->Entity->fields)

    Hello Anand W:

    First verify both the fields and check their field names. If they are different but display name is same, its not any issue.

    Let me know if this is the case else I will provide the solution for next issue.

    Enjoy...:)

    Thanks Mahendar and Saurabh for reply.

    It was error of import of Managed and unmanaged solution. I imported 1st as Unmanaged solution and 2nd time as managed solution and got this error. Don't know why this happened.

    But to solve this error I have to remove soulution from environment. 

    Regards,

    Anand

    Upadates on above...

    I have added new section and added fields in that. when I overwrite solution, CRM overwriting new and previous sections hence creating duplicate fields.. Is there any workaround for this.

    Hi Anand,

    Given that you've deployed the unmanaged solution first and managed solution later, if there are things that are in unmanaged but not in managed, CRM will take the unmanaged one.

    So essentially what happened during the merging process is the unmanaged customizations will win. And that's what's causing the duplicate fields / sections.

    What you should've done is deployed the managed solution and stick to deploying managed.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Dimaz,

    Appreciated your workaround. That's help me a lot. Thank You.

    Another workaround I have found here is that I am not overwriting solutions on another server. Every time I am creating new solution in first server and exporting to new server and deleting previous one solution from new server so that new server will have only updated solution.
