Retain All Other
Determines if all other changes made to already imported metadata, beyond data types, column order and references, are retained when importing Metadata again.
The setting provides the default for the All Other checkbox under Retain Existing Metadata in the Import Metadata settings dialog. Only the value Y checks the box. When the box is checked, the import does not override the other properties already recorded for existing objects and columns. The value is read for the selected connection and project, so it can be overridden per connection or project.
When to Change This Setting
Keep the default Y to protect changes made in BimlFlex after the first import. Disable it, together with the other retain settings, when a repeated import should override everything.
