[Cubicweb] Modification of attributes of entities already in the scheme

[Stéphane Bugat]

Dear all,

I'd like to modify some attributes of the entities imported in my scheme through the other cubes. For instance, let's suppose I'd like to transform the 'description' attribute of the Person entity into a simple String and not a RichString, with a maximum size.
I've tried the following:

   from cubes.person.schema import Person
   
   Person.remove_relation('description')
   Person.add_relation(String(required=False,
           fulltextindexed=True,
           description=_('Description'),
           maxsize=300),
       name='description',)

But this does not seems to work at all, although no error is raised. How do I have to proceed?
Thanks.

Stephane
