Hi,

1. I had the following structure: Product → Capability.

2. I had to introduce another level named “Capability Area” in the middle so that the structure becomes: Product → Capability Area → Capability. In order to do that, I renamed the existing “Capability” type to “Capability Area”.

3. Then I added a new type named Capability under Capability Area, thereby achieving Product → Capability Area → Capability.

4. For a productive board view to manipulate the relations, I need the Capabilities as cards, Products as columns and Capability Areas as rows. For this, I need a relationship from Product to Capabilities directly, too\*. But the problem is now I can’t create a simple relation from Product to Capability entity or vice versa as seen in the screenshot below:

I have a hunch that this is being caused due to the system getting confused because of the old “Capability” type that was later renamed to “Capability Area” - I had seen such stale type names in the exported JSON in general (but didn’t analyze further for this case).

\*BTW, this is an example where “Extended or Derived” relationship concept could otherwise help and not require explicit relations beween all levels in a relationship hierarchy or chain.

Yup! Must be the stale type name references! I just renamed the “Capability” to “Product Capability” and now the relation can be created without any error message.

The underlying bug should be fixed asap - otherwise exports won’t work correctly and such type renaming is a common need.

I think the following bug is related to this bug:

> [@Exported JSON has references to old Type names](https://community.fibery.io/t/exported-json-has-references-to-old-type-names/162):

> Hi, The exported JSON has references to old Type names which had been renamed. There may be other such stale data. Thanks! Shafqat
