We actually have logic to do that promotion (we also have logic to move something from custom to base but that is not really something you should be needing to do unless you made a mistake in a promotion). Unfortunately, we did not expose that operation in Dev Studio. This is an oversight that we plan to correct in a future release. You would then be able to simply go into base mode, select the object(s) to promote and promote them. The good news is that since it is an API call and the driver program that is supplied with all installs allows you to call the API call that does the work, there is a way you can use driver to promote things from base to custom. ARSList doesn't allow me to attach things from what I understand so I have included the text of a driver script that shows the calls for each type of object to promote it. You could create a simple file that loops across a list of things and promotes them. Again, this is a workaround, but it closes the gap in Dev Studio. It is not for everyone; but for those experienced with using driver and needing a solution and willing to put in a little extra work today, it is available." So BPCU does not need to be used to convert a definition from base to custom. -David J. Easter Manager of Product Management, Remedy Platform BMC Software, Inc.

I have not tried it myself ... ... but it is the only current way to get old things converted into the system as "custom".
