[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5601036, member: 54877"] This is why it can be done with minimal UI and database changes. But you have to think about it like that, instead of thinking about it as some decision by decision choice, like filling out a character sheet on paper. In fact, to support that functionality, all you really need is a filter element on the table to collect the version, and then a toggle on the main part of the UI to turn it all on or only the most current. Most people will want the most current, most of the time, and the UI wouldn't even change for them. Then when you want to see an older version, toggle the option to get all the versions, and you'll see all the versions of whatever pane you happen to be in. Pick your older version, then toggle it off again. Then you just need a bit of code so that the pane is allowed to show the older version, even though it currently isn't in the list anymore. (This is actually the biggest change in code.) There are, of course, slicker ways that such a filter can be made--with more options, or more selective, but the basic functionality is very simple. It is so simple, that our company has built it into a few apps more or less out of habit. Even when we don't turn on the toggle for the users, it is helpful for us when rolling out changes, as we can roll them out before we turn them on. [/QUOTE]
