I recently bridged one ACC project into another ACC “Master” project. The naming standard attributes need to be similar. Our data protocol states that attributes for the naming standard must be added to the master project first, after which it is distributed to the projects being bridged in. One can export the naming standard (attributes) and then upload the updated standard to the other project. This process updates the attributes but does not allow one to save the imported naming standard over the previously existing naming standard. However, this is not an issue as it leverages the same attributes as what was updated. While I like exploring data systems to see how they deal with complexity, I am more of the opinion that having an exchange information request that simplifies the project structure is preferable to accommodating exclusions and increasing complexity.
