Update class_structure with AML?

Hi Kevin,

It appears that the class_structure property on ItemType is a Text field. Here's what it looks like for the Part ItemType:

I believe your issue is that you're treating the XML within the class structure as an extension of your AML, when in reality it's basically a long string within your class_structure property. I've created a basic ItemType with a modified class structure and exported it via the export tool. Here's how it looks: 

<AML>
 <Item type="ItemType" id="49E6DF25B40944D2895243AB3C3D5D76" action="add">
  <allow_private_permission>1</allow_private_permission>
  <auto_search>0</auto_search>
  <class_structure><![CDATA[<class id="49E6DF25B40944D2895243AB3C3D5D76"><class id="79BD8D2734BA49569A685ECC60ECE851" name="test1"><class id="9FD75844F9A0438B891773350723A515" name="Test3" /></class><class id="9F0A06FA15E344C19CD7AAD0EC9F2F46" name="test3" /></class>]]></class_structure>

   </Item>
  </Relationships>
 </Item>
</AML>

It looks like the contents of the <Class_structure> tag are wrapped in a CDATA wrapper. your code should look like 

I'm curious why you're using AML for something like this? Generally going into the instance for a change like this would make more sense, where you can then export it and reimport if necessary.

Thanks AJ your solution worked. 

Also thanks for the advice. I'm new to Aras, but now I know how to use the import/Export utility ;-)
