Best Practice for Using and Updating Marketplace Modules

0

We would like to use the TaskQueueScheduler Marketplace Module but there are a few required changes. Instead of making changes directly to the code within the Marketplace Module, should we copy the files that require changes to another spot within our project? If we make a copy of the files, what is the best practice for handling updates to the Marketplace Module? If we update the Marketplace Module, the copied files may be out of date. We are still learning best practices for the Medix world. Thank you!

Best practice is to do just what you have done - make copies of microflows, pages, etc. in a module you create. That way you can update marketplace modules with a minimum of rework, if you would like to. Also, if you want to make domain model changes in a marketplace module, best practice is to create a specialization in one of your modules and use the specialization. I typically create one module in my apps to contain all customizations to marketplace modules. The only exception to this is if I plan to make a lot of customizations to a single marketplace module. In that case, I sometimes create a new module in my app that will have only the customizations for that marketplace module.

Hope that helps,
