When you change a property type (e.g., from DateTime to Enum) in an entity generated by ABP Suite, the old property may persist or reappear after code regeneration if you do not fully remove or update all related code and migration files.
To resolve this and ensure the new data type is applied:
- Delete the old property from the entity in ABP Suite before adding the new enum property.
- Remove any existing migration files related to the entity (in the Migrations folder).
- Clean and rebuild your solution in Visual Studio/VS Code.
- Re-add the property with the new type (enum) in ABP Suite.
- Regenerate the code using ABP Suite.
- Add a new migration and update the database:
dotnet ef migrations add UpdatedProcessStatusType dotnet ef database update- Ensure that the database schema is updated and the old column type is replaced.
- If you skip removing old migrations or do not clean the solution, the old property/type may persist and cause compiler or runtime errors.
