Changing Data Element Base Type References

You can change the base type for all data elements that reference that type.

To change the base type for data elements:

From an editor data tree area, select a data element.

See "Design Studio Common Editor Tabs" for more information about editor data tree areas.
Right-click and select Refactoring, and then select Replace With.

The Refactoring dialog box appears, displaying a list of all base types in the workspace.
Select a base type from the list and click Next.
Deselect any changes to be performed to exclude specific instances from the refactoring.
Click Finish.

The data elements that derive from the base type are now updated.
