Versioning via object selection

You can use the version configuration to enable a dialog in which the version creator can specify which referenced and main child objects that have already been versioned separately are to be versioned together with the main object.

Enable selection component

In the version configuration of a start transition, you can use the Selection component property in the Configuration area to specify whether the Object selection dialog is displayed when a version is created.

The following options are available for this:

Visible: The object selection is visible and can be edited.

Not visible: The object selection is skipped.

Disabled: The object selection is visible but not editable.

Options in the selection dialog

If the selection component is visible and you trigger a version via the start transition, the Object selection dialog appears. If you select a child object there, a query appears on the right-hand side in which you can select one of the following options:

Option	Description
In the future version with [...]	In future, the child object will be versioned together with the main object.
Trigger version creation for:	Specify whether only the selected child object should be versioned or whether a superordinate object within the object hierarchy should be versioned together with it. If you select a parent object and click Apply, it is displayed and versioned together with its child objects in the object selection. Attention: Make sure that no technically irrelevant objects, e.g. employees, are also versioned by your selection.

To accept your selection, click Next in the dialog.
