I have an application that is currently in production. I need to understand how I can accomplish a development cycle/process for this.
There will be changes made to the app regularly (multiple times a month possible). Many of the forms require lookups, etc, so in order to do work on a development copy, I need to have the data as well as the forms. I'm told that the only way to duplicate the application with data is to have Zoho do it for me. I am a paid (Professional subscription) user.
So now I have a copy of the application with the data - that's fine. But if I make changes to the forms/report etc. of the copy and then want to push those changes to production while keeping the production data intact, I don't see how I can do that. This is hugely important, as while development is going on, the production application is in use, and data is being changed. I can't just rename the dev version to the prod name - the data will be out of sync!
Surely there is a way to do this?
