Hi Kevin,



There is no such option for now.

But we've registered it in our R&D team backlog for consideration and implementation in future application releases.

Thank you for helping us to improve our product. 

Hello,

I recommend checking the academy article on Automatic data binding to find more details on how this functionality works. 

Mira Dmitruk,

This link doesn't work.



And I would like to vote for making this functionality optional. We don't transfer Workplaces and binding to our customers - they used to organize workplaces by themselves, so deleting automatic binding is extra headache for us



Kind regards,

Vladimir

Vladimir Sokolov,

 

We are sending you the instructions once again: https://academy.creatio.com/docs/8.x/dev/development-on-creatio-platfor…. As you were informed earlier, there is currently no way to control what data Creatio binds automatically when making saves in the section wizard.



However, we have registered this idea to our R&D team backlog for consideration and implementation in future application releases.

Any updates on this? Creatio automatically adding dependencies and bindings without asking makes building applications extremely difficult.

This article outlines how to do this for the entire page and details. See https://customerfx.com/article/completely-locking-a-page-via-code-inclu…

Hello,

 

In order to have the changes saved in the application to the desired package, you need to set it in the "Package in installed application" lookup. After doing this, the changes made to this application will be automatically saved in the package you have selected.

 

This behavior is described in the article on our academy for more detailed.



Thank you for your question.

Would definitely be a good video, feels like a recurring theme :)

I've been told the issue with random packages being selected for a customization to be saved in (and new packages being created) will be improved greatly over the next few versions. 

However, for now, you can control the package it will be saved in by changing the URL when you open a page for edits and appending the query string parameter &packageUId=[Your package UId]. This will force the editor to save the new version of the page in that package. If you want an easy way to get the package UId, simple click the [Add page] button in your application and copy this from the URL then use to add to the URL the first time you edit an existing Freedom UI page to force it to go into your package. Once the page is added to your package after the first save, you'll no longer need to add this to the URL and it will continue to save it to your package. 

For example, the *first* time you edit a page such as Contacts_FormPage, add this to the URL to force it to save into your package. From then on, editing that page will continue to save it to that package.

Ryan Farley,

Great tip 🙂

Great to hear there is plan to improve handling of the "auto" packages. Also from the marketplace directly in the application hub (only in dev/test instances) also create new empty packages each time since Creatio 8.1 is also quite confusing 😅. Hope they fix that before pushing the feature into production instances.



In the meantime, it would be great for Creatio to provide official proper guidance and tips to manage this.

Hi guys,

Do you have any recent news regarding this matter? I have a new Project and this occurred to me again.

Regards,
Solem

I would love to turn this off and have an error telling me what it needs instead. The auto adding dependencies could be nice but I’d prefer to control that myself. I’ve ran into issues where it attempts to add a dependency for the same package that the item is already located in and then complains that it’s a circular dependency. 

Ryan

Not getting the exact same error, but similar behavior: 



modifiying customer 360 list & form pages, getting account new objects, pages etc saved in my current set package, and the contacts saved automatically in a new package of Creatio's choice.... Quite confusing

Hello,

If you are developing in order to later transfer these changes to a production website (or any other website), it is essential to transfer these elements from the Custom package, as you have different bindings and data, as well as changes made to the objects. If you do not transfer them, the integrity of the development will be compromised, and the package is unlikely to be successfully installed on the target website.

Also, please note that the package must include all the necessary dependencies for these elements to be transferred. If, at the moment you want to move an element, you are missing a dependency, for example, the website will display a message indicating what is specifically missing.

Additionally, please familiarize yourself with the documentation:

Packages basics

Delivery in Creatio IDE

Move the functionality between packages

Kalymbet Anastasia,

I understood

I just have a further question.

If, I move all the elements from the Custom Package to my A package on the Development website. Then, I install that package on the Production website. The Production already had a Custom Package with all the same elements as the Development website.

Is there any possible error when I install my A Package on the Production site?

Bao Phan,

If they are the same elements with the same UId and name, then yes, there may be a conflict during installation.

Kalymbet Anastasia,

So if I create another package (B package) and move all elements from Custom Package to the B package on Production Site.

Then, I continue to develop A Package on the Development site and install it later on the Production Site

Is it possible doing it? Any conflict or error may happen?

Hello Oliver,

The method described in the article you mention does work for me (In fact, I just did this yesterday with no issues). 

Make sure that you've first configured the column layout and selected the "save for all users" and that you're selecting the correct row from the SysProfileData table (the one with no user in the "Contact" column.

If it's not working for you, it's likely one of the two issues listed above. 

Ryan

I appreciate the confidence in your article but I have 100% done both of these, about a thousand times, in every way possible.

Is this the only known solution/ there are no known issues with this?

Hello Oliver,

I have the details of how to include the default column layout in a package in this article: 

https://customerfx.com/article/including-the-default-column-layout-for-…

Ryan

Is there any better resources? This doesnt seem to be working for me.

Im running the following on the machine im exporting from: Version 8.0.3.2908 Sales enterprise

importing into: Version 8.0.6.3429

Does the version need to be the exact same?

Hello Oliver,



What is the bundle of the target website, Sales enterprise as well? 

Bogdan,

Yeah, Im not sure 100% if the one im exporting from is, but im pretty sure its Sales Enterprise too

Is there any way to confirm what version youre running?

Oliver Crowe,

The below SQL script will give the product version.

Bhoobalan Palanivelu,

Im using PostgreSQL - All MSSQL syntax checkers ive tried also says this syntax is wrong and I cant seem to get anything that will run from this, I cant find any conversions that work manually and ive tried using online converters too

None of the syntax works, could you please be more specific in what I can do to get it working

If you scrolled slightly further down the page you got that code from you'd have seen me commenting that it doesnt seem to work.

Cherednichenko Nikita,

This is the best solution for PostgreSQL, thanks!

Hello,

Please refer to the instructions in the Academy articles below that explain the package dependencies and data binding in the system:

Bind data to a package

Package dependencies and hierarchy

Define the package dependencies

Hey, there are two possible solutions that I can think of off the top of my head:

1. Create the field manually using code in the desired package and later delete the schemas from the Custom package. (This is less recommended).

2. Create a 3rd package, let's call it Y package, navigate to the dependencies of the X package and add a dependency to the Y package, move the files from the Custom package to Y package.

This should solve the issue for you as the field will be available in the Y package, and because X depends on it, it'll also be available there and thus it should work.

I hope this helps!

Edo Sagron,

thanks, will try!
