Hi @Abdul_Samad,

If you have a suggestion to update the main code and it’s possible to override it, please do so in a custom app. We don’t recommend adding code directly into the main functionality. However, if you can’t override it in a custom app and it’s necessary to change it for version 15, you’ll need to save each change separately. After updating the version, review each change individually and add your old changes if needed. But again, we advise against directly modifying or adding code to the core.

Thank You!

Hi @NCP
Thanks for your response.
I have custom app but initially by mistake i made changes to core file and honestly i dont even remember where i have made changes so i was thinking to have a fresh instance of version 15 and restore backup from version 14 to new one is it possible. i have data in account, HR , payroll, manufacturing module. or how can I
move data to new instance.
