In some cases, you may want to convert an object from one extended class to another extended class. An example of when you may want to do this is if you have an extended class for Employees and an extended class for Managers and an employee is promoted to a management position. You would want to convert that person's object from the Employees class to the Managers class. In order to allow users to convert objects from one extended class to another, you must configure extended classes in a particular way. To accomplish this:
- On the extended class, you will be converting from configure an action with the Modify Object Class (Picklist Selection) action type. See Creating Actions for information about configuring actions.
- On the extension classes, you would like to allow conversion to, you must select the Valid transform choice for all sibling classes option. See Extension Options for more information concerning this option.
