Changing publishers once fields have already been created RRS feed

    We created a solution (I'll call it Solution A) and started creating entities and fields for that solution using one Publisher.  We then realized that we wanted to use a different Publisher in the middle of this development (because this functionality should go in another solution, let's call it Solution B).  If I change the publisher of Solution A to the same one as Solution B, all future fields created in Solution A will have the Publisher prefix of Solution B, right?  Is there any way for me to change fields already created and prefixed with Solution A's Publisher?

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, once the fields have been created with a specific prefix, the only way of changing it is to delete and re-create under the correct solution publisher.

    Your assumption about changing publishers is correct - new fields will use the new prefix. You won't be able to change the previous fields in a supported way without re-creating them.
