Hello @clarkej,
thank you for helping me, I have followed the link with some searching around and I found some stuff that have moved me forward. After a lot of reading and trying I suppose, that the best way will be to keep changes in one place = in separate app. I have found this guide which was very helpful (thanks to @root13F) .
But I still have two, this time very specific, questions to which I didn’t find clear answer:
How to pair changes I have made with available fixture types? I found this list of fixtures
fixtures = [‘Report’, ‘Role Profile’, ‘Role’, ‘Custom Field’, ‘Custom Script’, ‘Property Setter’, ‘Workflow’, ‘Workflow State’, ‘Workflow Action’]
I suppose that if I have made changes for example in Sales order via Customize form, the correct fixture is Custom Field (no matter if I added or modified fields?). But what if I made changes directly to DocType via editing it in DocType form in developer mode(adding fields there or changing naming series)? Will exporting fixtures of Custom Field type reflect also these changes? I have tried it on test site and custom_field.json file looked exactly the same before and after direct modifying of DocType.
If it is not possible to export changes made to DocTypes this way, is there any other way, how to move changes made to existing DocTypes to separate app?
And another question is, if I export fixtures to separate app, does it “undoes” all the changes I have made to erpnext? In other words, is it move or copy?
