If you intend to change the structure of this data type you must first delete the data type from the system and deploy this plug-in again. If the problem persists, check that all data type precedents of the data type are declared in the same plug-in module or are listed before this data type in the appian-plug.xml. If you did not intend to change the structure of this data type, this message can be safely ignored as it is a false positive in the structure comparison mechanism. Please submit the plug-in and accompanying log messages to Appian Support for further analysis. (APNX-1-4165-003)

    When a new version of the plugin contains a new version of a CDT, the previous version needs to be deleted before a new one is deployed. Please delete PdfBookmark and redeploy the plugin.
