While I did not shared that conversation, I can only imagine that there was a misunderstanding in "how to modify the XML based structure". LR is usually not working with the version we just release, he is often far ahead. And for the ones visiting 4D Summit they might remember the last presentation "peak into future", where the whole binary structure document was stored as text based project folder. The structure itself is in this case just the XML file you get when you do a Structure export, but you never need to import it, just modify the structure on disk with a text editor (or by code) and restart 4D. And I could imagine that's the procedure he had in mind. As this way is not useable for the rest of us for today, I would use the XML export to identify relations names to change - and then go through the structure. I know, this can be an hour of work. I did myself so, when we introduced 4D Mobile with v14, as this already used the relation names. And I'm currently doing it again, as I have now a better understanding of how to choose good names.
