Currently, MicroStation allows connections to external databases, but data synchronization primarily revolves around Tags. To better utilize modern workflows and take full advantage of the flexibility offered by Item Types, it would be beneficial to add support for direct synchronization between Item Types and external databases.

This feature would allow users to map Item Types to database fields and update or synchronize data directly within MicroStation. Such functionality would enable more dynamic and data-driven models, with easy data refresh and consistency, particularly for projects with frequent data updates.
