I have some customizations that I exported from my dev system installed on my production system. I noticed a typo in one of the fields, and although it poses no problem for future ease I want to correct it. i.e. occupancy = occpancy. When coding logic_hooks and such I don't want to have to remember the field is spelled wrong.

I have found that studio customization don't seem to extend the vardefs in the way I would have expected. In fact other than in the cache directory I can find no reference to the vardefs. I have changed the field in the database, and the edit and detail views but the vardefs seemed to be wrong since no input box is created. Further when I made changes to the file custom/modules/Opportunities/Language/en_us.lang.ext.php it seems to get overwritten on rebuild.

My question is to change 1 field selling, what needs to fixed in addition to:

database field
detailviewdefs
editviewdefs
custom/module/Opportunities/Ext/Language/en_us.lang.ext.php

Where are the vardefs?

I made the corrections in the original .zip file and re-installed it and everything looks good visually, but now some fields including the 1 that I changed and most others will not update when editing, but other will. What could be causing this problem? Is there a good way to see what code is being passed when save is pressed to see if I can find an error, because no errors are showing up.
