EDIT DETAILS
**Story**: As a user, I possibly create a property and save give it the wrong datatype. I then go on to use that property, but I find it does not work (I choose type "property", but it should have "item")
**What happens:**
* I can't change the type to a better one, even if the property is not used yet
* I can't create a new property with the same label
Only workaround: Create a property with a similar label ("education" instead of "educated at")
**What should happen:**
* It should be possible to change the property, at least as long as it is not used
* I should get some help in the //create property//-Step, since there are quite many types which are hard to grasp for a new user.
[[ https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ten-usability-heuristics/ | Usability Guidelines]]: Error prevention,It sometimes happens that people click create property too quickly without having thought about the datatype for the property. The property is then created with the datatype that is selected by default. User ControlWe should not select a datatype by default and Freedominstead force the decision.
