      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 :

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

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

      [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
