Long story short - a few weeks ago I upgraded from 16 to 16.4. Then I noticed that all my posts from 2013 to 2022 have lost, only meta description and meta keyword stayed.
So I tried to downgrade locally back to 16 with backup database from a few months ago. The issue was still exist.
Ok, I was thinking, let’s try something else: when upgraded recently I didn’t touch dev. Dev is still with 16.0. So I just created a new database on azure and imported database from few months ago, before the upgrade to 16.4.
Guess what! The problem is still there! See a screen shot!
All other properties still gone.
So what’s going on here?
It’s dev, different environment. not prod. How can I get back the old posts ??
I also tried on different browsers, deleted browser history, etc.
As per my understanding, the upgrade from v16 to v16.4 is quite straightforward. If you are facing this issue in v16.4, could you please check and validate the below steps?:
Was this upgrade done just by updating the Umbraco packages from NuGet?
Please check and confirm whether these property data types match the data types used in v16.
Also, are you seeing any errors in the browser console?
Additionally, I would suggest having a look at the version-specific upgrade documentation for any breaking changes. Please find the link below:
Hi @Menachem35 It looks like you may have hit this edge case, which was fixed in 17.0.
This problem is regarding using Document Types that varies by Culture and that has Properties that Varies by Culture as a Composition on a Document Type that does not Vary By Culture.
I can gladly inform you, the data was never gone, it just didn’t show up in the UI.
There is no reason to stay behind on any version of v.16. V.17 brings almost no breaking changes(expect a newer version of DotNet) but you get a ton of fixes, so get your project up on latest when possible.
Alright, you haven’t changed anything, but the default migration might update the configuration. Could you please check and ensure the data types match in both versions?
Could you descirbe your Document-Type configuration and its Compositions.
As well please dump the network response from the request to of the partiular Document with missing values. (In this way we can see if its a rendering problem or if the data is actually missing)
