How do I create a new version of an intent type?

Purpose

Use this procedure to evolve attributes of an intent type, with controlled migration between versions. For example, if you need to change OSS-affecting attributes, you can create a new version of the intent type with the change, leaving earlier versions available to the OSS.

You can create a new version starting from any version of an intent type. For example, if there are three versions, you can create a new version of version 2. The new version is numbered 4, but it does not include any updates made in version 3.

The new version number is auto-assigned and cannot be changed.

Note: If you create a new version of a signed intent type, the new version is not signed.
