Generally, if the source design (from the development TeamConnect instance) does not include a design component (defined at the XML element level) and the destination design includes the corresponding design component, the import deletes that component from the destination TeamConnect database (for example, QA or production TeamConnect).

For example, if a Dispute object definition is being imported and the source XML file contains definitions for four phases, and the destination XML file contains definitions for five phases (including the four phases from the source database plus an additional phase), the import results in the deletion of the unique phase from the TeamConnect destination database.

This deletion would appear in the log file, but that log entry is not tagged with any specific error message.
