Convert obsolete MNTP to the new version after upgrading to 7.9.2
Hi all,
last week we did an upgrade for one of our projects from version 7.5.x to 7.9.2. One thing we see is the (Obsolete) Multinode Treepicker. Is it best practise to convert these to the new MNTP or can we hold on to these considering future upgrades of Umbraco?
Converting would also lead to edit some of the code because of the new return type in the new MNTP.
As a general rule (for me anyway) I would say don't convert on a site that isn't due any major redevelopment because its quite a reasonable amount of changes across all of your code.
There is no indication that the old content pickers are going anywhere this side of v8 - (All of the API calls that use Int values can't be removed without a major version update).
If you are looking at a redevelopment then maybe I would think about updating code, but also using the Property Value Converters that became part of core at the same time, as they clean up a lot of the code ( and actually make you dependent on the int/udi value much less)

Nop nothing needs to be redesigned or so, was only thinking in terms of upgrades if these obsolete MNTP would get removed in the future.
Thanks for the headsup!
