Change type of child association

alavery — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:08:53 GMT

I'm trying to change a child association from one model type to another so that we can remove old models from our system to clean things up a bit.

Is there a way to easily change the type of a primary child association? Currently when using deleteChildAssoc the child node is also deleted when isPrimary is set. And there doesn't seem to be a way to create a new primary association

I think that if the child association is primary for that node, probably the best way to change it is moving the node from a branch to another one where you can create a new instance of your own child association.

Completely missed the fact that they could just be moved to change the type..

Thanks for the help!
