    The system shouldn’t let users save VDPs in an order that leaves any of them undefined, so I don’t think the user should ever have to deal with the order of the VDPs being significant.


    I was actually discussing changes to the “customization identification” system today, we’ll be making some changes in the near future that will not get tripped up over these meaningless changes like order of elements (when it doesn’t matter). You won’t have to wait years for this.

@Michael Rodrigues can give a better explanation, but in my experience, these aren’t customized modules, but modules where metadata differs between your installed version and the core (repo/toolbox/exchange) version. Something like keywords or author, or something else that you can’t modify. The diff engine that checks if there’s an overall difference checks these attributes while the diff engine that generates the diff from your screenshot doesn’t take those into consideration. So, the overall diff engine that is responsible for telling you that there’s something different is telling you that there’s something different. The diff view however, doesn’t show those differences, so it looks like they disagree with each other.

I have asked that this be fixed, but it needs to come from more customers.

Since i couldn’t just wait a few years for it to be fixed, i compared the modules myself, using my sandbox, and didn’t find any functional difference. So I imported them into my prod portal. Upon doing that, it brought in the mismatched metadata, making it match and it no longer showed as having an update.

Please ask LM to surface the differences that are causing the main diff engine to flag it as needing an update.
