PDM Workgroup revision change with lifecycle statu

2/24/15 Update:

If I check "Allow latest revision overwrite" on the Vault Settings tab the revision changes correctly for both drawing & part - both go to A.01.

However, I do not want to allow latest revision overwrite.

======================================================================================================

I have a PDM Workgroup vault set up with very simple revision and lifecycle schemes.

During the transition between lifecycle statuses the revision does not advance automatically using the correct scheme.

My vAR has been unable to tell me if the vault behavior I desire is possible to configure.

My revision scheme has a primary of -, A, B, C... and a secondary of 01, 02, 03... (the last revision type is set to optional).

I have two lifecycle statuses - In Design and Released (lifecycle tab settings below).

My workflow is as follows:

Documents are first checked into the vault in an In Design status and at rev -.01 further check ins increment the secondary revision, -.02, -.03...

When a document is Released the revision goes to A

When a Released document is modified it moves back to In Design and the revision moves from A to A.01

Further check ins increment the secondary, A.02, A.03...

Finally, when Released again the revision goes to B.

Here is what happens in SW using the PDMW interface on the task pane.

Starting from part & drawing Released at rev A

Check out & take ownership of both

Change something on both

Save both

Check in

Check in active document (drawing is active) - picks up drawing & part

Status automatically goes to In Design for both

Revision on drawing automatically goes to A.01

*** Revision on part goes to B (incorrect & unexpected) why not A.01?

Workaround is to now manually edit revision on part and set it to A.01

Subsequent check in

Both rev's will automatically go to A.02, A.03, etc

Release

Check in active document (drawing is active) - picks up drawing & part

For both manually set status to Released

*** For both revision automatically goes to next secondary A.04 (incorrect & unexpected) why not B?

Workaround is to now manually set both revisions to "next primary revision"

Ownership is automatically given up
