Error when export form from 10.4 and upload to 10.3

Forms

Updated October 3, 2019

asked on October 2, 2019

I created 2 business processes in my Dev environment which is currently on Laserfiche 10.4. I downloaded both forms and attempted to upload them to our Test server which is currently on Laserfiche 10.3. One business process uploaded and the other produced this error:

Reading the XML file returned error - There was an error deserializing the object of type Laserfiche.Forms.Api.DataContract.BusinessProcess. The value '2' cannot be parsed as the type 'Boolean'.. [LFF317-UnableToReadXml]

I went ahead an downloaded that business process a second time and tried to upload it again yet still got the same error. I don't think there were any significant changes in 10.4 from 10.3 that I might have used and is preventing me from uploading the business process.

Any suggestions?

From my experience, Forms are not backward compatible. You only option will be to upgrade your test environment to the same version as dev.

For clarification, Forms the product IS backwards compatible meaning newer versions of Forms will continue to support older processes and features. Processes and forms built using the latest version of the software however cannot be imported to older versions.

Importing into a lower version is not supported

As I mentioned, I created 2 and was able to import 1 of the 2. So why was I able to import 1 of the 2 and not the 2nd of the 2?

There are many internal changes from one version to the next, so there a bunch of reasons why a field or setting in the second process wasn't compatible with an older version whereas the first one worked. Even if you aren't using any of the new 10.4 features in the process that didn't work, if you used a feature where the internals changed, that wouldn't work either.
