What changes when a derived skill is updated

​
Fields and rules

  • The derived skill inherits all fields and rules (and their enabled or disabled states) from the base skill.
  • Fields deleted from the base skill are preserved as custom fields in the derived skill.
  • Rules deleted from the base skill are also deleted from the derived skill.
New rules added in the base skill are inherited with the following logic:

​
Data catalogs and forms

  • If the structure of a data catalog has changed in the base skill, a new data catalog with the same structure is added to the derived skill.
  • The data form layout of the derived skill is preserved, with new fields appended at the end of the form.

​
Recognition settings

The derived skill inherits the recognition settings of the base skill.
