XML-Import of an existing datatype: separated limit properties (i.e. limit text) are overwritten at the variable

Summary

When an existing datatype is overwritten through XML import, limit properties at the variables that are based on this datatype, which were edited locally at the variable, are overwritten and are linked to the datatype again.

Description

When an existing datatype is overwritten through XML import, limit properties at the variables that are based on this datatype, which were edited locally at the variable, are overwritten and are linked to the datatype again.

Solution

when a datatype is XML imported and overwritten, the existing limits are not deleted and recreated. Properties at the variable limits of variables based on this datatype are now no longer overwritten and linked to the type again.

Information

A workaround may exist by XML exporting the variables prior to XML importing and overwriting the datatype, and XML importing the variables again after the dataype was imported.
