I’m currently trying to merge two agents, but I keep encountering an error. For context, the database was recently updated to Specify 7. Here’s the full error message:
Tried to get unknown field “exportSchemaItem” on table SpExportSchemaItem
I added the field to the table just to see what happened, and still got the same error.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
Hi @ray,
Thanks for your question!
This is happening because this agent you are trying to merge is linked to a record in the SpExportSchemaItem table (a system table used in Specify 6 to map Specify fields to schema concepts via the Schema Mapper).
Specify 7 is not currently aware of this table, resulting in the pop-up error you see when trying to merge those agents. Despite the warning, have you been able to merge the agents successfully?
The warning you are seeing is a known issue we are tracking on GitHub (#4814), and we have a fix we are readying for a future release.
Hi Grant, on a test run after trying to merge, there is a new agent created, but the records don’t attach to that new agent.
Can I detach the linked record from the agent on the SpExportSchemaItem table?
