Version History When Renaming a File in 7.2.1

jasonmcneil

Hi All,

I'm relatively sure that in previous versions of TeamSite when you renamed, or moved a file in the workarea, and submitted the file marked for renaming/moving, the version history was transferred to the newly named/located file.

It seems now that if you rename a DCR, or move it from one folder to another in the workarea, even after submitting both the new location, and old "marked for move/rename" the previous version history of the file is lost. Looking at the properties of the file in the new location results in it being version 1, with no access to its previous versions for comparison/reverting.

Can anyone confirm that this wasn't always the case? Seems to be a fairly fundamental feature of version control to be able to re-organize files while preserving their version history.

Whether correct or not, the behavior is identical in 6.7. Renamed or moved asset does not inherit history
