We have our system (SW17 SP2) set so transitions require a comment. If a typo was made you can always open up the history of the file and edit the comment. I just realized that there is no record kept that a comment was revised. Is there someway to either prevent people from making an edit or to set it so a line is added to the comments that someone modified the record?
Sorry Paul, only the user that made the comment can change it and not from either web interface, so that user would need to login to a thick client and modify it. Alternatively you can use some SQL sorcery to change it on the backend, version comments are in the revisions table and transition comments are in the transitionhistory table.
Where do you set the option to require a comment for a transition?
User permissions under Administrative Permissions
Thanks
Hey Stephen,
You can't block modifications to comments, but it's only available to the person that originally made the comment. There's no tracking mechanism in EPDM for that change either so you'd need an enhancement request to get it added.
I don't think I would want to block it but I wish it would say something like "Last edited MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS" or something along those lines.
I have another related question. How do you modify a comment that was made by someone using the legacy web client? One of our partners that only has web access put in a comment with the wrong build stage in it so we need to change the text but nobody can do it not even admin.
