I have created a Document Type, let's call it "Parent". Then I assigned few compositions to "Parent". After that I created "Child" document type for "Parent" and as expected it inherited all compositions and other properties. But after I did this I could not edit compositions for "Parent" document type anymore. Error message is: "This content type is used in a composition, and therefore cannot be composed itself."
Is there a way to do it?

Hi,
Yes you can work around this by doing a query into your database.
insert into cmsContentType2ContentType values(Id of composition, Id of 'Parent')
