Restore wt.lifecycle.StateRB fole

[BrianToussaint]

I messed up with my StateRB file.  How do I restore it to the previous version from backup?  I tried to copy the files there and run the ant command but it didn't take them.

Try using enumCustomize and edit the StateRB.RB.ser file in codebase\wt\lifecycle folder.

How many customized lifecycle states do you have? I only have 1 so that is easy.

I lost all the OOTB lifecycle states. It will not let me add them back in, so that is why I need to restore to a previous version of the file.
Never hit the "Replacement" button and then do a save without unchecking it. I was trying to narrow down my test server so I made sure I duplicated it on production.

Have you tried copying the file from another machine and then running the enumCustomize and ant -f MakeJar.xml command?

[BrianToussaint]

I did try. But when I ran enumcustomize, it remembered the "Replacement" and didn't have the other states. I also tried to run the ant before enumcustomize and nothing. I am thinking something is set in a table?

@BenLoosli PTC support finally came back with that I need to go to the wtCustom folder to grab the latest files.  Then I had to rebuild them through a force compile and then I could run the ant command.

Lesson learned, do not use the Replace as a Filter button. 😂
