Need to change a Released Package.....

Hello,

 

I recently took a managed package which was in Beta and released it.

 

Now it looks like I need to make changes to some of the code as well as the datatype of one of the fields.

This would be for a new release.

 

Unfortunately this is not possible with a released package.

 

Is it possible to copy a released package to an unmanaged package so that I can change the components?

 

I would hate to think that I have to start a new package and manually create every component from the old one.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

If you created the package and you have access to the package Org(where package is created) go to that org and change the code as you wish.

 

Now regarding the Field type:

You can’t change the Field data type once it was packaged.

 (Can’t be changed in Package org also).

So the best way is create new field and replace the old field with new field name in all areas of code in packaged org and apply the package.

 

And if you don’t have access to the package org(where package is created) then there is no way you can get the Apex Code.

You can see the VFP code I think.
