  • Manage Changes to Object-Based Types
    You create object-based custom Lightning types in Prompt Builder to structure prompt template output. When you edit these types, you can’t modify certain field properties to avoid disrupting integrations. Modifications such as renaming fields, changing data types, deleting fields, or making optional fields required can cause integrations and references to fail.
