Rename table through migration while maintaining _creationTime
I want to rename a table. I understand it's not directly possible; only through migrations.
But, we're running into the issue that all
_creationTime fields are now reset. I also don't seem to be able to write those during the insert.
I tried adding a new creationTime field, but now I have to add it to all indices to maintain the same ordering as before.
Anyway a mess. This must be simpler right?3 Replies

Unfortunately not.
_creationTime is a system field, and system fields can't be altered by your code. Your method of adding another field to the new table is the only way that I'm aware of to maintain the original creation time value. Yeah, it's a mess, but there's no alternative currently.Allright, thanks for the response 🙏 . I'll just live with the old title for now for the sake of keeping the speed.
