N issues detected - Umbraco Major version upgrade from 6.2.0 to 7.1.8


Currently upgrading from 6.2.0 to 7.1.8. and I am stuck.

During the upgrade installer I have been shown a dialog window saying

Major version upgrade from 6.2.0 to 7.1.8

There were 1 issue detected

Property Editor with ID 'c2d6894b-e788-4425-bcf2-308568e3d38b' (assigned to Data Type 'Multinode Picker') does not have a valid GUID -> Alias map. It will be replaced with a Readonly/Label property editor. The following compatibility issues were found. If you continue all non-compatible property editors will be converted to a Readonly/Label. You will be able to change the property editor to a compatible type manually by editing the data type after installation.

The installer is giving me the option to continue or fix it before I continue,

can some one explain why I am getting this message and how to fix it?

Thanks Ayo


Solution

  • 'Multinode Picker' is incompatible with the new version of Umbraco. You are getting this warning because one or more property editors is using this data-type.

    Umbraco's default behavior when you select 'Continue' is to simply replace the the data type with a noedit label.

    After the conversion, you can go to Developer > Data types, and find the multinode picker. In the dropdown it will probably be set as 'noedit' now. I believe you should set it to Multi-Node Treepicker manually.

    If I recall correctly, the Multi-node Treepicker stores the selected nodes in the same CSV format as the old version, so you shouldn't lose any data... I think :)
