Ahh if you have custom modules then don't do this. I assume you have all
your custom work under version control?
Or maybe not if I read below

If you were running from git, you could just create a local branch, merge in
the HEAD of the 3.2.x branch test and if all goes well you are done, if not,
just checkout your old branch (and restore your database from the backup
you did). I strongly suggest doing your development in a maintainable
way, under a version control system so that you can merge in from upstream. 
Or just run released versions. 

But untracked (by a version control system) changes will always cause you 
problems any time you go to upgrade.

You could try that, you would need to be careful that no other changes
were made in that file, that rely on changes in other files.
If you find the commit in it, you could cherry-pick or find the patch
file in the koha-patches list and apply that.
