I have a record that I use in many interfaces, querys. I need to change the data type of a column in the database. If I make this change, the references to that field are lost and I have to edit all the objects that use the field from that record to reference the new field type. This can be avoided somehow. That is, appian updates the reference of the record.field automatically.

the data type is Request and I am changing State Varchar 20 to State Varchar 255.
I am using a synchronized register and in the interfaces I use ri! of type Record. With this change, the reference to the State field is lost and must be updated manually in all objects that use it.
did you find easiest solution to update record field references.?
If you are using synced records, you just have to change the database type, and after that change the mapping in the record definition...
You can find objects having an "Invalid Record Field Reference" issue in the Heath Dashboard tab under Monitoring.
