Form features and ITP/Create Model Package versions

Form features are not only offered in the Form Editor. To be usable, they also have to be supported in ITP/Server, and in the associated ITP/Create Model Package. To use newer features offered by a new release of the ITP/MDK Repository, it is possible that also a new ITP/Create Model Package must be configured in the project. If an old ITP/Create Model Package, which does not support all Form Editor features, is configured the Form Editor will not offer those new Form features. If the user wants to be able to use the new Form features, he has to upgrade the ITP/Create Model Package.

If a Form containing new features is edited, while the configured ITP/Create Model Package does not support them, a warning is issued. This warning states that the user should either upgrade the ITP/Create Model Package in order to use the new features, or that he should remove those new features.

Note

After upgrading the ITP/Create Model Package, it still has to be configured in the project.

As long as a Form contains features not supported by the ITP/Create Model Package, any changes will not be available in the model. If a Form containing new features is exported and subsequently imported in an older ITP/MDK Repository, which does not support those features, the user will not be able to edit this Form in that older ITP/MDK Repository.
