Migrate picklist using the Changeset

Hi,

We had a working prod environment where we had a Picklist field for one of the custom objects. The Picklist contained the Values A, B, C & D.

We removed the value C from the sandboxes and then migrated this change using the Change Set utility of Salesforce. However, we see that this change is not getting deployed to Production environment and we still have all the 4 values. Also, if we were to rename D to D1, D1 gets added to the list but D is never removed.

Is it a known feature/bug of Change set tool. Are there any work arounds available for it.

 

Thanks!

This is not a bug, it just means that you can't commit delete you can only add to the metadata, I will suggest using Eclipse IDE for deploying changes.

Thanks for your response.

 

Is there a way to get around the problem without using the Eclipse IDE ?

Please check out the Best practice doc around deployment in using change sets, in covers some of the things that you may need to do manually.
