Hello Ilya,
thank you for your fast answer. Did I got you right, that when I want to change other configuration parameters like this
&CCS::Data::Datatype::base_class::config_parameter( max_length => {max => 255, default => 255}, min_length => {max => 255});
which is taken from my String class, I need to override your sub parameter_config in this way?
sub parameter_config { return {max_length => {max => 255, default =>255)); }
But I also need the other parameters from base class (like min => 0 and valid => 0 in this case).

Or could I do something like this:
my $parameter_config = SUPER->parameter_config; $parameter_config->{max_length}{max} = 255; $parameter_config->{max_length}{default} = 255; sub parameter_config { $parameter_config }
My classes not only inherit from base_class.pm. There are also datatypes that inherit from other datatypes. Such as Text inherits from String (but no direct base_class) and PrimaryKey inherits from Integer. Is such inheritance with one of this configuration methods combineable?

My goal is, that I can add new parameters only in base_class (let's say has_double_letters or max_number / min_number) and all the datatypes need only to "activate" this new parameters via the ->valid_parameter(qw(mandatory max_number)) call.

Thanks, Uwe
