Possible changes in Water Distribution Utility Network Foundation

Question

I use the Water Distribution Utility Network Foundation,
Am I allowed to change the alias of Subtype and replace the domain set in the assettype field.
For example, I have a subtype called Bonding Line, but it's redundant and I don't need it, so I want to rename it to Farming Line and replace the set of domains in the assettype field called Asset_Type_Water_Line_Bonding_Line with a set of domains called Asset_Type_Water_Line_Water_Main that also exists in Water Main.
I know the ways to do it, the question is if it might cause an error in the network because I use the Water Distribution Utility Network Foundation
Thanks

I would not suggest that.  You should only rename items if they modeling the same thing.  The bonding line is a CP feature and is set up to model current, not water.  It would be more work changing it to be a farm line then just adding a new one.

You should only rename/reuse an asset group/type if it is the same type of asset. The codes and categories associated with each asset type are built into the network definitions, displays, etc. Repurposing an existing asset type to make it behave differently is as much work as creating a new one since you must carefully review and update all the configurations associated with (including the D_Configuration and D_Rename tables).
