Issue

  • When a Staging publication is performed more documents are published than were modified or selected.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.2, 7.3 environments using Asset Publishers set to dynamic selection style.

Resolution

  • This behavior can be disabled by navigating to Control Panel -> Configuration -> System Settings -> Assets -> Asset Publisher and deselecting  "Enable Dynamic Export".
  • It is important to note that disabling Dynamic Export could result some content not being published when it should be.
  • If there is concern regarding that please look into the dynamic.export.limit= portal property or the configuration option Dynamic Export Limit, which can be used to limit the number of files that the Dynamic Export can export when enabled.

Additional Information

  • This is an expected behavior per LPS-62275, however it can be toggled as noted above.
  • Since 7.4, its default value is false. See LPS-128736.
