Has anyone else has this problem?
1. You create a custom content type to use in the SMT.
2. You use it for awhile and it works fine, but then you realize that it would be great if there was a way to configure it a little more to customize it.
3. You think "Yeah, should be easy enough. I'll just create another field on the custom record type that was created."
4. You create the custom fields, login to the SMT and everything works great. Your new custom field is available and configurable and everything looks great.
5. You make your edits and save the content.
6. Just to be sure, you check things on the live site. None of the CMS content shows up, your page is blank and everything is broken.
7. You curl up in the fetal position and question every decision you've ever made that has led you to this point in your life.
8. You go back to the custom record for the CCT you've been working on and delete the custom field you just created and everything works fine again.
There's gotta be a better way. What am I missing here? How do I add custom fields to CCT records without totally destroying all the existing records of that type on the frontend?
