update references of a loopup property when converting from VL to OT

Hi Philipp,

If I remember correctly your lookup property will not change if you simply convert the value list to object type. I think a new property will be added during the conversion process, but the original property will still work. You may need to rename the new one to avoid confusion. But you should not have to change the content of your excel files.

Please test before you go ahead and do this in production!

Hi Karl,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, you are right so far.
The excel files will be copied and used for new Objects. So the references will be also used with the new property.
I could still use the old property, but the old prop (from the value list) will not be updated automatically with the value of the new one. ok, that's not a big thing, it can be managed. The other thing is that in the treeview will be displayed boths properties as nodes instead of one. This is confusing for the user and I want to avoid it. Any Idea?

I would think you could get away with hiding the new property and thereby avoid using it at all. Unfortunately, you cannot delete it.
