Cannot Download Import Template

Hi Benjie Monterde,

if you created your fields through vardefs, Sugar is expecting those fields to be in the core table and not the _cstm (dedicated to fields created from the studio and declared in fields_meta_data table.

I supposed that, if you launch a quick repair, Sugar will propose a SQL query to align your vardef definition with the core table (so an alter table order to create the missing fields). This should solve your problem (and you will also need to delete the fields you created on the cstm table).

Other option : change your vardef definition to fields_meta_data definition.

How do you change the vardef definition. Sorry I'm Still new to this.

I suppose that you create a vardef file that contains the name, field type etc.

I you try to create a field from the studio (same type that the one you created from code), you will see that Sugar will create a new entry in the fields_meta_data table and maybe a sugarfield_xxxx.php file in the custom folder with additionnal parameter.

So the ID, if you want to keep the fields in the _cstm class is

* to remove the custom vardef file

* to create the field from the studio OR manually to create the corresponding line in the DB

If you want more help, maybe you can share here your vardef.

Custom fields should be able to be defined through the Extension vardefs. The important parameter to include in this scenario is to set 'source' to 'custom_fields'. More information on proper ways to define custom fields outside of Studio are documented here:
