Hi Folks - because I have some column names that exceed 30 chars I need to change them in case we deploy on Oracle.
However, I’m not certain of all locations where the column names are referenced, so need to search.
If I change the column names by hand (of course), how can I search and be sure that I locate ALL references to those columns in my solution (relationships, valuelists, forms elements code etc?) so I can edit them.
Appreciate feedback on this one.
In 4.x when a column is missing warning markers will appear for all broken references. If you just removed the column, you have to manually trigger a Clean to see all markers for active project and modules. Then you can just double click the marker and fix the issue(s) in editor. Also, after doing this, you can extra check using Search in files (Ctrl+H) - maybe the column name is also used in js files ?

Thanks Laurian - thats what I was looking for.
But, when you say trigger a clean - do you mean needing to make a Clean import?

No, it’s from menu Project → Clean where you can manually trigger a build in developer. The build is automatically triggered (if option Build Automatically from menu Project is checked) when changing something in a project. But when removing a column only the resources project is changed so a build on main project is not triggered (at least in our current implementation). This is why a manual build needs to be triggered in order to see the markers.

Great thanks Laurian
