Entities become non-editable after deployment as an extension.

Hi,

I'm deploying Thingworx entities as an git extension from Dev to test server, which makes entities non-editable.

i.e xml of entity will have new tag as <aspect.isExtension="true">.

As well as DELETE option is disabled.

I have already tried removing this tag and save xml and re-import but no luck.

How to revert or make that entity editable again?

Hello @TanmeyTWX ,

I believe your answer is:

Add a folder named "Entities" in the extension structure
Edit the entity's xml to include aspect.IsEditableExtensionObject="true" within your Entity object
- For example, for a Thing, the attribute would be added to <Thing name="ThingName" aspect.isEditableExtensionObject="true"/>

Hope that helps

I tried below steps but Entity is still non-editable and delete option is disabled.

1. Exported the ThingShape xml.

2. Added aspect.IsEditableExtensionObject="true"

3. Save it.

4. Import back this ThingShape to Composer.

I'm good if I get the DELETE option working even. I can delete it and create again.

Thingshape definition attached for reference.
