Changing the title on a property in the content model

[buje85]

Hi, 

We have a custom content model in our build of Alfresco. One of the properties has an incorrect Title element in the xml which we would like to change, it is a minor change, just changing it from "Period Year End" to "Period Year Start". The Property name and type will be the same.

I know you can only make incremental changes to the content model but i am not sure if this counts as one. Is it ok to make this change or will it break the content store and model?

Thanks,

Changing title or description of a model element is a trivial change and only informational / relevant to the end user. It can be done at any time and should not have any side-effects on SOLR et al.

Having said that, I typically never use the title or description elements in the model at all. Instead I manage these values in an external properties file which allows me to address multiple locales if necessary.
