Adding fields on extensions

Hello!

I am reviewing a story and want to confirm this is expected: in order to add a field to an extension to a field it must be be owned by the same entity as the extension (i.e. nsCox in my case). Is this expected?

My concern here is for this field in particular we are just creating a duplicate of a NW data item (PrimaryLocation) and this will require additional maintenance rather than just using the original item. Please confirm for me this is expected before I approve this change. Thank you!

@ian.p tagging you here for direction

All fields on an extension table must be namespaced and cannot be base ownership fields. From Nextworld Help:

All data items added to an extension table must be in the same namespace as the extension table itself.

It does seem like additional maintenance I agree, but is all there is for now except for the possibility of making the case that the PrimaryLocation field should be added to the base table directly by Nextworld. Please submit a ticket if you believe there is justification for that approach.
