Modifying custom properties, relationships, and custom asset types

After custom properties, relationships, and asset types are saved, you can access them in the same place where you created them. Go to Administration > Configuration and settings > Asset and artifact definitions.

Important: When you modify the definition of a property or relationship, which are already in use by governance artifacts, these governance artifacts are affected. For example, when you delete a predefined value in the property definition, that value is deleted from all artifacts that use it. When you delete an artifact type from the source or target of a relationship, and this type was already used in a relationship, these relationships are deleted.

Edit mode for custom properties

When viewing governance artifacts, you can now switch on the editor mode for custom properties. When the Edit values toggle is switched off in the Details section, you can only see those custom properties for which values were definded for the artifact. Switch the editor mode on, and you can see all available custom properties and edit their values.

Deleting custom properties, relationships, and asset types
