JCR/Jackrabbit - How to make a non-trivial change to a property definition?

Question

I have a custom node definition that looks like that:

[kl:customer]
    - kl:title (string) < 'MR', 'MRS', 'MS'
    ...

Now, I want to add 'FAMILY' to be an allowed value for the title-property. How can I update my definition without getting a RepositoryException?

Because trying to perform an update with

[kl:customer]
    - kl:title (string) < 'MR', 'MRS', 'MS', 'FAMILY'
    ...

leads to an error:

Error importing node type: javax.jcr.RepositoryException: The following node type change contains non-trivial changes.Up until now only trivial changes are supported...

Answer 1

You might want to upgrade. I use 2.6.4 and don't get that exception.
