Field Name change via Metadata API
Can you deploy field name changes via Force.com IDE? I am trying to overwrite a custom object definition and am getting the following error:
# Deploy Results:
Name: objects/Investment__c.object
Action: NO ACTION
Result: FAILED
Problem: There is already a field named Investors on Investor.
The source and target object definitions differ for the fields shown below:
Source
<fields>
<fullName>Investor_Lookup__c</fullName>
<label>Investor Lookup</label>
<referenceTo>Account</referenceTo>
<relationshipLabel>Investments</relationshipLabel>
<relationshipName>Investors</relationshipName>
<type>Lookup</type>
</fields>
Target to be overwritten
<fields>
<fullName>Investor_Name__c</fullName>
<description>NEW</description>
<label>Investor Name</label>
<referenceTo>Account</referenceTo>
<relationshipLabel>Investments (Investor Name)</relationshipLabel>
<relationshipName>Investors</relationshipName>
<type>Lookup</type>
</fields>
Field label changes, but not field name changes - check out this thread.
Hope that helps,
