Unable to load an existing partition based local database (back of synced realm) to new flexible sync realm

How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

We are currently trying to reload the data from an existing partition based synced realm app that has had schema changes made using a javascript program that reads the local realm file, opens the new Synced Realm and writes the data to the new synced realm.

The load all works fine except the sync fails because the App is a flexible Sync app. How do we load the existing data to the flexible sync real such that the existing Swift and JS clients will continue to work.

Your documentation seems to indicate that no client side code changes are required but it seems that the clients need to open the realm as flexible sync realms - which would obviously require a code change to the clients.

Presumably they will be unable to open the partition based synced realm if this change is made?

If someone could provide a 'dummies' guide to converting from partition based sync to flexible sync that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

OK - my bad. I was not using a string to define the class/object in the subs.add() function !!!
