There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi everyone,
I've been working with imported entities in my project (coming from external systems or databases), and I'm wondering: is it possible - or even advisable - to upgrade them directly?

Have any of you tried upgrading imported entities (such as adding calculated fields, annotations, or even business logic)? If so, how did you handle updates or maintain changes between versions?

Thanks you

Hi @JenniferJRobinson, you should read/search the posts on "Process Automation Tips" 😉

Have a read on the post "Simple steps on importing entities from database table" with an example on how to create these "Linked" entities from a database and what is required to update them (in your database) and collect the changes with the magic "Update" button.

Be aware that my posts are written from a clean environment and that I also hear dramatic stories on updating "Linked" entities…So, CYA with a backup and try it first in a sandbox environment!
