Hi all,
using Microsoft CRM 365 Version: 1612 (8.2.1.176) (DB 8.2.1.176)
What would appear to be some pretty basic customization has evolved into a really strange mystery.
Why is itthat when I perform the following customization to the system:
----------
SALES --> SETTINGS --> CUSTOMIZATIONS --> CUSTOMIZE SYSTEM
...Components --> Entities --> Leads --> Fields --> industrycode
...[Under SETTINGS]: ADD one or more new industries, say "Carpenters" and "WiFi" --> Sort the values
...PUBLISH!
----------
... I DO get the desired result of the sort order (the dropdown menu under Leads) - BUT - all the already chosen industry-values for existing leads change to new values, apparently as a result of the invoked sort order - completely unintended and completely useless (say, if I had 100 existing Lead entries of "Doctors" these would, as a result of the invoked sort order, hold a new value of fx "Musicians"). Direct data-damage to all existing Leads!
Is there a different way to handle this customization "correctly"? How do I avoid this extremely disturbing and outright data-damaging behaviour?
