Each time you save an instance (e.g. after deploying a table) you are presented with a screen to add a version note. Please add the functionality to automatically add log information of changes made since the last saved version. This could be in bullet style. Maybe the user could choose between short and long descriptions. I could imagine it to be present something like (as an example):
- Added table [DSA].[Sales]
- Added field [Amount] in table [DSA].[Sales]
- Added description to field [Amount] in table [DSA].[Sales]: “Amount of Products sold”
- Changed Transformation on field [Profit] in table [DSA].[Sales]: from Custom Value: ‘…….’ to Custom Value: ‘…...’
The obvious benefit would be that it saves developers time writing down all changes (version notes) manually. And this would actually encourage developers to add a log note for each change made as I am pretty sure that currently a lot of version notes are left blank. Obviously you would still need to be able to add a custom note.
