Hi, I think versioning in general is an important feature and versioning of each entity as a whole is not only useful, it is a requirement in certain compliance context. To begin with, the rich text fields should have versioning (and afterwards diff view between versions, revert back to a specific…

Also agree here - I liked in Confluence the fact that you could revert to previous versions. The “Rich Text” field type functions similarly with you guys - although you have the advantage of this being an actual entity with all the great substance around entities! - so being able to revert to previ…

Wanted to point this request out again. As a Fibery instance grows and more and more knowledge finds its way into the System, this is becoming a bigger need of ours. I think most other apps have this function, so would love to see it here. Would be grateful for any update on progress from the Fibe…

As an add-on to this request, when it’s implemented, I’d appreciate the ability to be able to make relationships that are version-specific. Ideally, I can choose to create a link that is either: to the entity in general, independent of what versions exist to a specific version of the entity, incl…

Woah, that’s an interesting but complicated-seeming addition. Can you give an example of where this would be useful?

One use case I had in mind was for test cases and their executions. If I write a test case, and then execute it, it would be great if the execution only linked to the version of the test case that was valid at the time of execution. If I edit the test case, I don’t want the execution to link to the…

Would love to see this type of sophisticated software dev capability in Fibery, but from my point of view could wait for it till later. Fundamentally though being able to see an activity record of Rich Text fields, and potentially revert versions would be great right now. Coda has a great feature …

Interesting. I can imagine other possible approaches to this that seem less complicated to me from a dev and UI/UX perspective, but I’m curious to know more. Are the Test Cases and Executions both represented as their own Types?

Yes, I had assumed that using a type for Test Cases and a type for Test Executions made the most sense. If you have suggestions for how to solve the problem with fibery as it is, please let me know :slight_smile: I basically want to define a Test Case (as a series of test steps: “Do this”, “Measure…

Gotcha. So to really try to resolve this I’d probably need more info, and you’re probably right that versioning would help create a more ideal solution. However, without knowing more, I can see at least two other possible approaches off-hand, aside from copying the test case into the execution entit…

Very thoughtful response, thank you. In the past, I have occasionally followed the #2. solution you described, and as you say, it becomes a whole lot more workable when there is a ‘copy entity’ function (+ ideally a ‘lock entity for edits’ to ensure the v1.0 is not accidentally used). But yes, I c…
