If you attempt to publish a solution containing an entity with calculated fields, you may receive the following error message:
Field foo_calculated cannot be created or updated because field foo_used_in_condition_or_formula contains an additional formula that uses a parent record.
The wording is misleading and confusing because field foo_used_in_condition_or_formula is not a calculated field at all. The error is documented as:
| ErrorId | ManagedErrorName | ErrorMessage |
|---|---|---|
| 80060433 | CalculatedFieldsEntitiesExceeded | Field {0} cannot be created or updated because field {1} contains an additional formula that uses a parent record. |
Which does not make it even remotely clearer.
What the error is trying to say is that there is a child entity with calculated fields that refer to foo_calculated field. Solution, as it turns out, is very simple:
If your entity contains a calculated field that is used in formulas of calculated fields of another (child) entity, make sure to include this child entity in your solution
