Fixing Creatio's Auto-Generated Packages: A Precise, Step-by-Step Guide

Objective:

Prevent Creatio from auto-generating packages and assigning circular or unnecessary dependencies.

Solution: Disable UseSchemaDesignPackageUIdByHierarchy

This hidden system feature overrides your CurrentPackageId setting.
Disabling it restores control and ensures changes go into the package you’ve selected.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open Feature Management Page

• Go to your Creatio instance.

• Add the following to the URL: www.example.creatio.com/0/Shell/#Section/AppFeature_ListPage

Step 2: Search for the Feature

• Look for: UseSchemaDesignPackageUIdByHierarchy

Step 3: Disable the Feature

• Uncheck both:

  • ✅ Is enabled

  • ✅ Is enabled for current user

• Click Save.

Step 4: Clear the Application Cache

• Click the “Clear Cache” button at the top (or log out and back in).

Step 5: Set Your Target Package

• Go to System Settings.

• Open: CurrentPackageId

• Set it to your desired package (e.g., Custom or your working package).

What This Fix Does

Before
New random packages auto-created
Circular/unnecessary dependencies added
Ignored CurrentPackageId setting

After
Changes go to the package you selected
Clean, controlled dependency structure
Full respect of your selected package

Pro Tip:

Make sure your target package is:

• Unlocked in the current environment

• Installed and active in the system

Otherwise, even with the fix, Creatio might default back to auto-generation behavior.

Final Notes:

This approach is ideal for:

• Devs working on modular custom packages

• Teams using Dev > QA > Prod pipelines

• Avoiding the junk package mess and dependency hell
