Hi all,
I've spotted an inconsistency between the two details views for a Change, specifically with the Version property. I assume the behaviour is the same for other maintenance types.
The Changes window is a non-modal window which has the list of Changes for an element along with a details view which (NB) contains all the properties for a Change.1
You can also use the Element Browser, which is also a non-modal window with a tree view in which all maintenance items (and a bunch of other stuff) is displayed with just some basic info.
From the Element Browser you can double-click a Change to open a modal window titled "Change details for <element type>: <element name>" which (NB) contains all the properties for a Change.1
Here's my thing.
If you create a Change from the Changes window, it's given a default Version. A little cryptic, and not related to what's in the element's Version property, but whatever, it's there and you can change it to whatever you want.
You can even clear that property, and save the Change. The empty string is saved in the database.
But here's where it gets weird.
If I open up the Change Details window, the empty Version is replaced with a new Version on the same form as the default. The database has not changed at this point, but the Apply and OK buttons are disabled even though the dialog contents do not match the database.
If I close the Change Details window without making any changes, I don't get a confirmation prompt.
If I open it up again, there is a new generated Version filled in.
So in other words the Changes window allows empty Versions, but the Change Details window does not.
Reported.

1There's actually one column in the t_objectproblems table, Severity, which is not shown. But it's not in either of these windows, so it is consistent.
