P4DTI issue job000141

TitleCan't add to replicated_fields list
Statusclosed

DescriptionThe P4DTI administrator can't add a new field to the replicated_fields list (except at the end of that list) because the new field will get a Perforce field number that was previously used by another field. So the data that was previously in that other field gets captured by the new field.
AnalysisWe could either:
1. Advise people to delete all their jobs and re-replicate whenever they change the replicated_fields list.
2. Support specifying the Perforce field number in the replicated_field list, for example replicated_fields = [('DESCRIPTION', 110), ('PRIORITY', 111)].
