Percolation of Baseline comparisons

[Paolo F Cantoni]

When you perform a baseline comparison, the status column shows whether something has changed or not.  However, it doesn't show whether a subordinate element has changed.

Changes need to be percolated "up the line" so that the user can descend into changes of interest.

The context menu item:  Expand to changed Items, while useful is not pertinent here as the user doesn't wish to expand to ALL changed items.

My suggestion is if an element is not itself changed, but contains changed elements below it, it is designated as +(Changes).  The user can then descend until they see what they want.

If the element has changed and contains changed elements below it, then it is designated as Changed+.

{edit:  An element that has changed but has no elements below that have changed will be designated as Changed}

Also, it means you have a quick check at the topmost level if ANYTHING changed below it...

Add one vote here!

[I'm assuming that if the element itself has changed, but none the elements below it have, then it will continue to be displayed as changed.]

Good assumption, but I'll formally add it back to the original post...
