This topic describes how to update existing asset types.
Users with configuration permission can perform this task.
About this task
Some restrictions apply when updating an asset type to
prevent data corruption of existing assets of that type:
- Existing properties cannot be edited because the updated property
values could result in existing assets of that type breaking the new
validation rules.
- Only optional (not mandatory) properties can be added.
- Optional properties can be deleted, but only if there are no assets
of that type with values for those properties in the database.
- An asset type cannot be deleted if there are any items of that
type in the database.
