Question

A managed solution from your vendor sets a form field to 'Business Recommended'. After a recent import, users report the field is now displaying as 'Optional' instead. You open the field's solution layers in the target environment and see two layers: the vendor's managed layer at the bottom, and an unmanaged layer on top that was created by a developer directly customizing the field in the environment. You need the field to honor the vendor's managed configuration going forward without losing any other legitimate unmanaged customizations. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Remove the active unmanaged layer for that specific component so the managed layer becomes effective.

Answer

Delete the vendor's managed solution and reimport it to force the managed layer to the top.

Answer

Export the environment as a managed solution to collapse all layers into a single managed layer.

Answer

Increase the version number of the vendor's managed solution so its layer takes precedence.
