U4-5154 - MNTP breaks after upgrading v6 to v7 - prevalues issue
Created by Pavel Gurecki 27 Jun 2014, 07:33:37 Updated by Shannon Deminick 26 Jun 2017, 05:41:32
Hi,
after upgrading my 6.2.1 installation to 7.1.4 I've get YSOD when trying to open Multi Node Tree Picker based datatype in my backend (screenshot of YSOD attached).
The problem is caused by MNTP prevalues which are in different format in v6 and v7. I guess the problem is in https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/7.1.4/src/Umbraco.Web/PropertyEditors/MultiNodeTreePickerPropertyEditor.cs : 70, it tries to get prevalue by "maxNumber" alias, which does not exist -> YSOD.
Simple fix could be checking if "maxNumber" key exists before trying to get value in MultiNodeTreePickerPropertyEditor.cs, this would remove YSOD.
Ideally, Umbraco install should detect upgrade from previous versions and transform old MNTP prevalues to new ones.
As temporary solution I use SQL script for removing all old MNTP prevalues and adding "maxNumber" prevalue row for all MNTP based datatypes. You can find script in related forum post: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/54018-Upgrading-621-to-714-Failed-to-retrieve-data-for-data-type-error-for-MNTP

Currently I am not aware of other solution, but it is possible to write custom SQL script for converting old prevalue format to new one. Still some of options will be missing, as v7 MNTP lacks some of functionality we had in v6.

Thanks Pavel, thinking about this some more I think it would be far quicker to recreate the required prevalues vs finding or developing a solution to perform a conversion. Hopefully in the near future this will be handled in the upgrade process.
