Fieldname payroll_period conflicting with meta object

Frappe HR
1

Hi,

I added Link Field “payroll_period” in the Salary Slip Doctype four months back using the customize form and everything was working fine. Yesterday I wanted to update the ERPNext and Frappe HRMS and now update is failing for HRMS stating error “Fieldname payroll_period conflicting with meta object”.

I tried removing the custom field “payroll_period” from the Doctype and tried to update after that, but still, I am getting same problem. If I remove the field from Database table then update is working fine, but I already have data in that column and don’t want to do that way.

If anybody can throw some light on what the reason may be for this error.

ERPNext Version - 14.13.0
Frappe Framework - 14.23.0
Frappe HR - 14.0.0

Below is the trace:

Is any update on this.

Hi,

I created the custom field with new name and copied the old data to new column. After this I removed the conflicting field from ERPNEXT and from database.

This approach solved the update issue and updated the application to lastest version.
