Yes, I think it's fine to add it and change the primary key of that
entity. I know it is used, but by a pretty small group. If it is
needed then my opinion on doing the change is: the sooner the better!
Of course, if anyone is reading in and disagrees with this: please
let us know!
If no one has a major objection within a day or maybe two on the
outside, I'd say go for it...

David,
Are you saying that in my application, it would be fine to add from/
thru date fields to SegmentGroupRole entity, or that it would be a
good idea to submit a JIRA issue to add those fields to the OFBiz
core code? Since fromDate would be part of a new primary key, I
would be surprised if you meant that, but I thought I would ask.

As I understand it, SegmentGroup is there to handle sales
territories. If so, wouldn't it be desirable to attach sales reps
to a region by the SegmentGroupRole, and if so, since that would
be a high turnover position, wouldn't it be good to have it time
constrained by the from/thruDate?
I see where PartyRelationship is tied to the SegmentGroupRole via
the SegmentGroupViewRelatedParties view, but I don't see how that
would apply in this case.
Was the intent just to replace or delete sales reps as they
became active and inactive?
