Import: Extending an Existing Application with Inheritance (MLP 1)
March 16, 2026 | 39:22
This video focuses on the first extension of an existing application using Blueprint—introducing a new outcome (MLP 1) into an application that is already under development or in use. You’ll see how to extend an application one outcome at a time, using Blueprint import to add new case types and data objects while inheriting from existing “gold‑standard” assets. The session demonstrates how inheritance and the “copy lifecycle” option allow teams to reuse trusted workflows while still bringing in Blueprint‑defined data models and personas. This scenario is best when an existing application already contains mature assets that should be reused and extended rather than rebuilt.
What you’ll learn
- How to extend an existing application using Blueprint for a first incremental outcome
- How inheritance allows reuse of trusted, existing case types and data objects
- When to copy an existing lifecycle versus start from the Blueprint design
- How Blueprint import sets a clean baseline before feature development starts
- How to introduce new capabilities without disrupting what’s already live
