Hi Kevin

Thank you for the input. We did consider it, but agreed that other options are better. You can use items entirely for this and disabling old paragraphs.

You can use inherited paragraph items

• Base paragraph item type (Contains, Heading, image, text, layout options)
  • Sub paragraph item type, i.e. Carousel
  • Gallery
  • Any other needed type

In this way you have your properties and shared settings from the base paragraph that are inherited to any other child paragraph.

Would this be doable?

Thank you for your reply.

Your suggestion is what we can do currently. The idea of having a an itemtype as paragraph properties would mean that the transition to itembased paragraphs on existing solutions where all the content on pages are stored inside ParagraphText and ParagraphImage could be extended.

Changing all paragraphs to itembased paragraphs is quite a job on existing solutions.

So my answers to your question wether it is doable - sure but a very large and expensive tasks converting paragraphs to items

I get you,

You could create the new item type - and then loop each paragraph, create a new record in the item table, get the id of that table,  and add itemtype and itemid to the paragraph table. And you should be converted...
