I have a composition called _Person Base that is used in 1 Data Type (Person) and a Document Type. Let’s call it Presenter.
The problem is that _Person Base has more fields than Presenter needs. I’ve been asked to remove the extra properties so Content Editors are not confused. The Person Data Type should remain the same.
I don’t want to lose content already entered.
I created a new composition that duplicated the properties on the original _Person Base using the same alias names for the properties. From an initial test, it looks like entered data does not get lost for Presenters.
I want to confirm that this is an ok practice. What should I look for? Am I setting myself up for trouble?
