is it possible to change the record ID of an object in an SDF app and have it not create a new object? I was trying it last night and it seems to just create a new object when deploying rather than update. It makes sense if thats the case since there doesn't seem to be any other metadata but the record ID in the XML.

If you change the ID in the SDF app, you can also change the ID in the UI to match, then the app will see that it's the same record.

When i did this, it became 2 different objects. It did not update the object that was there it just created new ones with the new IDs

Did they have the same SuiteApp Id? For SuiteApps your objects have another field, I think AppId is the name

I think im having a disconnect. I see the suiteapp ID and publisher ID but its going to be the same for every object within your app as far as I can tell. The use case is I have custom record A and fields. I need to "rebrand" the IDs for both the record and the fields.

@creece The only way to do what you're asking is via install script.

@dcrsmith that seems to be the path forward with what I want to do that i've found. Thanks
