After a LIVE deployment, do not modify form or item RefNames

  • Recommendation: Do not modify form or item RefNames.

  • Rationale: If you modify a study object's RefName, its column is removed from the reporting database schema, and a new column is created for the new RefName. This is a destructive change to the integrated InForm data model in DMW.

  • Additional information: Instead of modifying a form or item RefName in the study design, rename its corresponding column in the target data model in DMW.
