Modify property of existing and used aspect

HiI have some aspects deployed in alfresco and it works fine. But now I have to modify an existing property of an aspect which is used by a lot of documents. I just want to add the option <tokenised>both</tokenised> to the property but at startup I see the following warning :Jul 15, 2013

The message is telling you that updates to existing properties are not allowed. You could already have nodes confirming to the the old property definition.

The restriction is perhaps too simplistic but prevents a whole load more complicated issues.

It looks like you can turn off validation if you want to. by setting doValidate to false in the spring definition for the dictionaryModelType bean.

MRogers,
I have the same problem but since my code is in development, is there anyway to clean up all the affected data.
I added an aspect and now want to change that aspect. I have removed all the node that is attached to the old aspect but still get this error. It shows on the start of the server. I deployed the model bootstrap style (not via repository).
"Failed to validate model update - found non-incrementally updated PROPERTY"
Thanks a bunch!
