Hi, I am learning how to create my own HDA.

Is it possible to convert an HDA node back to the original subnetwork node? For example, I create a testA HDA node and keep improving it for personal use at home. Then, when I work as a freelancer at a company, they might not allow me to install my HDAs due to the short period of the contract, a custom pipeline, and other reasons. In such cases, I need to revert the testA HDA back to a subnetwork. However, the Subnet UI never goes back to the original, and parameters could be broken. Then I have to copy all nodes from the HDA, paste them, and wrap & reconstruct the subnetwork and its parameters again.

How would you manage your own subnetwork nodes and HDAs in general? My guess is that artists usually keep nodes as subnets and bring them to the working company, creating and installing HDAs only if the production requires it.
