@janakik When a data type is deleted, it is retained in the system so that objects can continue to function correctly even if referenced data types are deleted. Deleted types, however, will no longer appear in the Appian Designer or as choices in type pickers.

Upon deleting a data type, references to that data type will have a version number appended in the form of a caret (^) + version number. For example: myCDT^1, myCDT^2.

Objects that use a deleted data type can be exported and on import, will attempt to reference the most recent version of the data type. If the most recent version of the data type is deleted, import of the dependent object will still succeed. If no data type exists on the destination environment, import of the dependent object will fail

May be I will delete and reimport the CDT again so there won't be any conflict .

Hi Janakik,

Can you share us what kind of change you have done in CDT. also as per my knowledge it is not good idea to remove and recreating the object because if we remove any object then other objects which are using the deleted one will through errors and it will become difficult and time taking job to fix that.

@janakik i agree with @gaurava322 as i too have have face the same situation, try recreating a new CDT by dropping the earlier one

This happened with me as well, I would suggest, delete the old cdt and try creating a new cdt, add to DS and publish it. It worked for me.

Did you remove fields from the CDT? If so, check if any rules are still referencing the removed fields.
