Hi,
I have a custom Change ItemType that is already used for around 50 change processes.
Now I plan to extend this ItemType with a few additional features. This also requires many changes in the ItemType Form.
The current Form is used as Default Form. Any change I apply to the Form, will also be visible in the existing 50 Items.
But I would prefer, if the previous Items still use the previous Form.
What´s the best way for using the old Form for old Items and the new Form for new Items?
My current ideas:
1. My custom Change ItemType doesn´t use the classification property. It´s maybe possible to use the classification property to store information about the verison. Then it would be possible to separate the old and new Items according to the classification.
2. Using some onShowItem Client Method.
What would you recommend? Do you know any other way to achieve this task?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Martin,
that´s a good idea! I already hide some buttons according to Item states.
In the case above, I selected the "classification" way, as really large parts of the Form has changed and I didn´t want to redraw the Form. But I think for minor customizations, using created_on is a very convenient solution.
Thanks for your input!
