Custom Field is missing after update from 2.3.3 to 2.5.0

Added by Daniel Krusenbaum over 10 years ago

In our Redmine System we added an custom field. After testing a update to the new Version 2.5.0 this field is missing. The migration Script did not show errors. The System i use is a Windows 2003 Server and the Bitnami Redmine Stack, both installed in English. Any ideas what went wrong or an hint how it could be corrected?

My solution so far is to create the custom field again on the update testing machine. Create an Backup of the MySQL DB and look in the custom fields section (custom_fields, custom_fields_projects and custom_fields_trackers). Then i copy the INSERT's statements in a new textfile. From the old Backup i took the INSERT section from the table custom_values. We only had one custom field so no remapping of a SYSID was necessary.
On a new test of the update i run the INSERT scripts after the migration scripts.

I'm currently working on an update from 2.3.3 to 2.5.0 as well. There were some fairly significant changes to the custom fields. I copied the old database schema into my new database in a temporary schema `temp` This is the sql command I used to ensure compatibility between these tables.

insert into redmine.custom_fields 
(
    id, type, name, field_format, possible_values, `regexp`, min_length, max_length, is_required, is_for_all, is_filter, position, searchable, default_value, editable, visible, multiple
) 
select 
    id, type, name, field_format, possible_values, `regexp`, min_length, max_length, is_required, is_for_all, is_filter, position, searchable, default_value, editable, visible, multiple 
from temp.custom_fields;

I simply had to specify each common column. So far this seems to have worked getting each custom field from the old instance to the new one, but I only executed this about 30 minutes ago.

There's nothing in migration scripts that seems to delete custom fields, is the field missing from the database completely or just not showing up in the web interface ? Could you give more informations about that custom field : especially which type (issue custom field I presume ?), does it have any length constraint, are you admin on the instance ?

The major thing that happened in redmine 2.5 is that custom fields now have a concept of "visibility". If it is broken I may be able to help you on that, and depending on your answers we may open an issue directly (core developers don't follow the forum a lot I think).

Thanks for your patience
