540_to_600RC Migration script: "All" filter deleted first column

I just noticed after migrating a customer's 5.4.0 system to 7.0.1 that the columns of the default "All" filter are different:

Where has the first column "Meter No." gone? And why has it been silently removed?

vtiger 5.4.0 All filter:

vt7.0.1 All filter (No "Meter No." column):

This has happened on every module's List View I have compared. the first column (which is mostly the module_no column) from both standard vtiger modules and vtlib custom modules has disappeared.

Hmmm, so this actually happened much earlier in the migration process... Around line 700 of the 540_to_600RC.php schema file.

I am amazed I had not noticed this before and I fail to see why it would be removed by default? Most of my customers rely on these fields and use them extensively.

I have my own migration scripts which I run from the command line so I will modify these to prevent this happening in the future. I guess it is not a bug but it does seem a bit odd to me.

Title changed from vt7 Migration: "All" filter has lost first column to 540_to_600RC Migration script: "All" filter deleted first column

No, this is a bug. This code will arbitrarily delete the first column from every Entity Modules' "All" filter.

http://code.vtiger.com/vtiger/vtigercrm/blob/master/modules/Migration/schema/540_to_600RC.php#L700

This includes any custom modules created with vtlib or installed via a module package. Even if the first column of the filter is not the Record No. field.
