Set version when creating baseline

[Uffe]

Hi all,


A good enhancement to make baselines more useful would be the ability to specify, as an option, that the version identity you set when creating the baseline should be propagated to all the contained elements and diagrams that have been changed since the previous baseline.

In order for it to work properly, the modification time should not be affected when the Version field is set this way.

Actually, to be really useful you should select one of three:

• Don't set any Version fields (default, current behaviour)
• Set Version fields for modified elements/diagrams
• Set Version fields for all elements/diagrams

Any takers?

Cheers,

Hi Uffe,

just use SVN or other Version Control Keyword substitution like '$Log: $, $Id: $' in your description of element, tagged value or so.

The Version Control tool will replace this string with the information of the versioned *.xml file. You have to make a get latest to update it.

I put such information in tagged values and visualize it in the documentation.

Regards,

Helmut

I'm not talking about EA's external version control functionality here, but about baselines. It's a suggestion to make baseline functionality more useful, not a question on how to manage versions in general.
