Primary Field Change in Synced Bases

[Doug_Gregan]

I'm trying to create a new Base for Donor information. I've successfully created the new Base and everything seems to be syncing fine. However, I have been using just a Autonumber Field for the Original Donor Primary Field and have converted it to a Formula so I can include Donor names with the Serial #. Now, in the synced base, I am unable to assign the new Field as the Primary because it's synced. Is there a way to override this? Why doesn't the change in the original migrate to the synced Base?

Hmm, I assume you're referring to the following error message?

If so, I don't think there's a way around it I'm afraid.  For what it's worth, when I hit this issue I modified the original primary field to the new requirement, instead of trying to move the new field in which seemed to work fine
