I wasn’t sure if I could upgrade my NFR version without breaking it so I thought I would ‘have a go’. Solution If you read the documentation for the upgrade of 1.2 to 1.4, I suggest you skip straight to the tasks to do AFTER upgrade, as it has a habit of resetting things back to default, best to make sure you...
