Further to the video below, my understanding is that when documents are grouped as alternate documents, certain fields are shared between the documents (Dispute, Proceeding Stage (to be removed) and Document Type). Therefore, if I change the values in these fields, it should affect the same field in all the documents belonging to the same group. It does not appear to be the case. Currently, I am either unable to save changes to the shared fields or the changes only get applies to current documents, rather than all the documents in the group.
This is a bug. The expected behaviour, is that if the primary document changes the document type, the alternate document type will change correspondingly. I have logged this in target process here: https://industrialagency.tpondemand.com/restui/board.aspx#page=board/5389754907359543952&appConfig=eyJhY2lkIjoiNkIwOEFBRTU1NUY0ODJDNDU1NDA1NzJFQkE5N0JGQjkifQ==&boardPopup=bug/16273/silent
Made this a high priority items since we should probably resolve this issue before the migration.

We did this change. if you change the document type then it will be updated in all alternative documents.
One more thing Morgan, As per following screenshot, You should click on "Update" button when you will change the Document Type because we need to populate all the Meta Fields based on updated document type and then on "Save Draft" button all meta fields value will be updated.
Hence, When you change the Document Type the "Update" button should to press before click on "Save Draft" button.
Ok. I believe the issue is resolved.
I agree, you should be able to change the document type from any version (not just the primary).
Duly noted about selecting Update before saving the draft. However, I'm wondering if we should automatically "Update" if the admin user selects "Save Draft".

I believe the issue is that a user needs to "submit" the change of document type in order to update the form and therefor this action cannot be completed on 'save draft'.
