renaming a field in a CDT that's already mapped in the process model doesn't update in the process model and expressions.

Hello Chris,

I noticed that when I loggen in the nexday the fieldname was updated in the pm and could select IT to overwride the old value in the node. After a couple of data we upgrade to 20.4 maybe also better for renaming cdt fields.

Kind regards,

Erik

Thanks - have you verified your process variable for the CDT does not have an outdated version associated, indicated by "^" followed by a number, such as pv!Person^2 ?

Which version of Appian are you on?

First ensure your process variable for the CDT does not reference the old version such as pv!Person^2. If so, reset to the new version by re-selecting the CDT type.

On newer versions of Appian you should only have to close and re-open the process model after updating the CDT to see the new version. It used to be the case however if you were editing objects referenced by the CDT while you update the CDT in another tab, the new CDT version was not included automatically and the objects (process models, forms, etc) would reference the older version until manually updated.
