We were on version 7.x, we upgraded to version 8.x. If I go to the path
custom/modules/<modulename >/metadata. I find that the file editviewdefs.php is missing.
I tried to go to the studio> ModuleName>layouts>save and deploy, it does not generate the editviewdefs.php file.
I also tried to copy the file from the directory
modules/<moduleName>/metadata , The custom javascript added does not work.
There is a backup file with extension suback.php.
Any thoughts over here. What is want to do is to write a custom javascript file for the module.
