Create variable interface sizes in System Composer

I would like to use System Composer to perform design trades, but to do so I need to be able to easily change interface definitions. Perferably, I would like the ports to inherit the data types and shapes sent to them like a Simulink subsystem does. However, when I try to add a test harness to a system composer block and send it data from a MATLAB workspace, it balks at a difference in port sizes.
Can System Composer interface definitions be made to truly inherit dimensions and types like Simulink models can?

One way is to save the architecture as a Subsystem reference architecture:
The recommended workflow is to use variants to define your design choices and then choose the appropriate variant during your trade study (see Create Variants on the same page). Variant component choices can have different interface and port configurations as long as any connected interfaces and ports align.
Hope this helps!
