Hi all,
here is the situation :
- Create a filter A
- Create a filter B
- Create a filter C by merging filter A and B
- Modify filter A : for example add some symbols and relationships, remove some others
The question is : how to update C so that it reflects changes made in A ?
- Option 1 would be to manually apply the same modifications to C that were made to A. Not allways feasible if modifications to A are not documented.
- Option 2 would be to merge the new A with B and get a new and updated C. The trouble is we may have modified C itself inbetween ....
- Option 3 : what happens if we merge again C with itself and the new A ? Do we get the desired result, i.e. : new A filter definitions + B definitions + modifications made to C after the initial merge ?
Thanks !
