I suppose it's us wanting to work with developing Arches as we work with the data and learn Arches, without then having to dump out all the data and reimport each time we want to add a new node; or change the name or an existing node; or change the resource-instance a node uses, i.e. from 'Person (Actor)' to 'Organisation (Actor)'. These changes only tend to emerge once you start working with the data and shaping it within Arches - hard to figure every move out in advance I tend to find.
Thanks again for your help - I won't be hitting the delete button for now. Hopefully there's another way, even if it is export; change Resource Models; reimport data. If that's the only way, is there a guide on how to do that? Cheers, Jude. On Monday, October 19, 2020 at 1:33:25 PM UTC+1 manxnation...@gmail.com wrote: > Thanks Alexei, that's helpful.
