When trying to upgrade ERPNext from 7.0.44 to version 10.x.x I’m getting the next error traceback:

Try bench update --patch

I’m getting exactly the same error using the --patch option. Nevertheless, thanks for the reply and idea.

The problem is that this patch that located in erpnext/patches/v9_0/student_admission_childtable_migrate.py is trying to handle a column with name naming_series_for_student_applicant which is not exist, you may alter the tabUser Admission table manually to add naming_series_for_student_applicant column directly using mysql

That did the trick!! Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Btw, it was the tabStudent Admission table not tabUser :slight_smile:

By the way, for those not familiar with MySQL (like me), these links helped in the process of creating a new column http://www.hostingadvice.com/how-to/mysql-alter-table/ and MySQL: How do I list the tables in a MySQL database? | alvinalexander.com

Thanks again for the feedback, solved.
