Hi:

1. Yes, incremental changes on a bootstrap content model are allowed. So adding a new aspect is possible.

2. Adding a new property in aspect A is also an incremental change, so it is also possible. But, in this case you may need to update your existing content for setting the values on the new property.

Any change on the bootstrap content model is better without data, when the model may be disabled and deleted without problems.

Regards.

I added a new attribute to my model, and also have it setup in the share-config-custom.xml file under the field visibility section and appearance. But when I bootstrap the JAR with this new attribute I don't see the new attribute showing up under my model when I look it up in the Model Manager.

I see from the logs that the
