Import: Creating a New Application Built on Existing Assets
March 16, 2026 | 21:31
This video addresses a more advanced scenario—creating a completely new application layer that builds on an existing application rather than extending it in place. You’ll see how to use Blueprint import to create a new application that inherits and reuses selected assets from an existing implementation while keeping all newly imported artifacts isolated in a new layer. The session explains how to emulate “use existing” behavior in a new‑application context, how to clone or inherit case types where needed, and how Blueprint decisions influence class structure and inheritance paths. This scenario is ideal when MLP 1 and MLP 2 need to be delivered in a fresh application while still leveraging existing enterprise investments.

- How to reuse and inherit existing assets while isolating new functionality
