In References from the same Entity, preserve time of all references

Ideas & Features
1

Showing the time of a reference is a very useful feature. One way this helps is that when you refer to another entity anywhere other than comments, there is no timestamp or indicator of who wrote the Rich Text. However, the reference captures both, which is great.

However, if you have multiple references to one entity from another, only the latest reference will show the time. Could you guys keep the original timestamp in each reference? This really helps context as we appreciate being able to see the difference in time among various references in the same entity to another - it shows what we were thinking at one time and then what changes in some cases, or can show you at a glance how long a given entity is persisting, when it shouldn’t, to give another example.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I wanted to ask about this again as it’s a continuing issue for us as our Fibery instance grows and we reference more and more within our content. I’m providing a screenshot with an example of the issue. Really hoping this can get some traction as it would be very useful to preserve the data of when all references from an “incoming” entity are made. In our case, this is usually in comments, so it’s helpful to see when all the comments that reference the entity are made.

Thank you!

Hi!
We still don’t see many use cases and requests so far, so noted for the future, but no promises. Let’s see, whether more users will share more use cases in this Topic :sparkles:

Hi Polina, thanks for the response. Is this something that would be covered in the upcoming redesign with blocks? It would be useful to sort references, like all other elements of Fibery, so they could be grouped by referring entity Type/DB, so if you have a DB of service providers, and a DB of meetings, you could group all the mentions in meetings of the service provider. We do a lot of hash tagging around Fibery, and sometimes have tens of references to a certain entity. Being able to group them, as well as see the timestamp for each reference, not just the latest, would help us with better organized data in Fibery and faster navigation.

Thanks again!
