How to update the composite genie instances with new template

Hi community !

Is it possible to change the composite genie template and automatically update the instances to the new template keeping entered paramets ?

I would like to modify Meter genie to dynamically show/hide alarm limits based on instance configuration tag. I suppose the correct way will be to create a copie of sa_meter\alarm_limits_xxx_x genies, add required functionality and then modify meter composite genie (with new GUID) to include customized alarm_limits genies.

Finally i will have to update all my standard meter instances with new composite genie. Is there a way do do this automatically?

Hi Bradley!

Thank you for detailed answer. So currently we've got two options: a) modify standard library objects b) manually replace every instance with another one.
Obviously it is really necessary to keep several references on the template for each instance: folder name, instance xml, cache.ctm.

Probably it's better to work with a copy of standard templates from the very beginning of the project, like it recommended with archestra for example? But since we have no inheritance it will lead to update troubles.
Looking forward to seeing this feature available.
