Business value

Performing a validation for all required relationships reduces problems post publishing and helps customers be more successful when distributing solutions.

Feature details

With this new feature, solutions will automatically check for all required lookup relationships prior to export.

Before this feature, it was possible to create a solution, select your solution components, and then export even if you didn't include the lookup relationships necessary for your solution to successfully be imported.

Now, at the time of export, a check will automatically be made on every table of a solution to find lookup fields. Once found, the check will validate that the relationship necessary for the lookup to work properly was included in the solution. If it's not present, an error message will provide details of what table is involved and which relationship is missing.
