Hello, What is the easiest way to edit an existing field in a CDT? I have a couple of CDT's in my application which need to undergo some changes(to existing fields as well as add some new fields). I tried deleting the whole list of CDT's and recreated the same by importing an XSD. However all my processes are still referring to the old CDT's(In the data mapping's for eg I can see (username~3) which is obviously referring to an old version). I did go and manually change it - but then all the data mappings in the process got wiped out. There should be an easy way to do this. Please advise...

Yes, that's the root cause. CDTs are identified by two things:

name + namespace

if you change any of those two things then the CDT is considered a different data type which means Impact Analysis will not be able to guess you mean those new ones to be the same as the old one if their qualified name is different.
