CE7252 cannot be resolved from mxcli — no command to refresh OData action fingerprints #1089

Description

@acarum

When a CALL EXTERNAL ACTION activity is linked to a consumed OData action whose parameter fingerprint (BSON hash) has become stale, mxbuild reports CE7252: "The parameters for remote action '...' have changed.".

Studio Pro resolves this with a right-click → "Update" on the call activity, which refreshes the stored hash in ConsumedActionMetadata. mxcli has no equivalent command.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. A microflow contains CALL EXTERNAL ACTION Module.Client.ActionName(...).
  2. The OData action's parameter hash stored in the .mpr becomes stale (e.g. after an mxcli migration that recreates the microflow, or after a service update).
  3. ./mxcli docker check -p Project.mpr reports CE7252.
  4. Attempts to fix from mxcli:
    - DROP MICROFLOW + CREATE OR REPLACE MICROFLOW → microflow is created fresh, CE7252 persists.
    - CREATE OR MODIFY EXTERNAL ENTITIES FROM Module.Client INTO Module ENTITIES (...) → entities updated, CE7252 persists.
    - UPDATE ODATA CLIENT Module.Client → parse error (command does not exist).
    - SYNC EXTERNAL ACTION Module.Client.ActionName → parse error (command does not exist).

Expected behavior:

A command such as:
REFRESH ODATA CLIENT Module.Client ACTIONS;
-- or
Workaround:

Open the .mpr in Studio Pro, double-click the Call external action activity, right-click CE7252 → "Update action". Save. The error clears.

Impact: Any mxcli-driven migration that creates microflows with CALL EXTERNAL ACTION will produce an unresolvable CE7252 if the action fingerprint is already stale in the OData client —
requiring a manual Studio Pro step that breaks fully automated migration pipelines.

Environment
