             Summary: Being able to update a field in an entity instead of "Field already exists"
                 Key: FORGE-1535
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1535
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Scaffold
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Final
            Reporter: Antonio Goncalves
             Fix For: 2.x Future


When you create a new field in an entity and, for example, need to change its datatype, there is not way to update it. Forge tells you that the field already exists :

{code}
[Artist.java]$ jpa-new-field --named age
***SUCCESS*** Field age created
[Artist.java]$ jpa-new-field --named age --typeName int
Field 'age' already exists
{code}

If would be good if Forge would ask to replace it :

{code}
[Artist.java]$ jpa-new-field --named age --typeName int
Field 'age' already exists
Do you want to ovewritte it (y/N) ? 
[Artist.java]$ y
***SUCCESS*** Field age created
{code}
