Per Revision Metadata
This is a major enhancement to our Publication Space Settings, specifically under Custom Fields. There is a per field configuration option called "Value Per Revision." By enabling this option, the system stores a unique value for the field per uploaded revision.
Additionally, when searching, the system will now display the different values per revision, providing a more comprehensive view of the document's history. This is also reflected in the Excel export and in the basket.
For distribution, users will see the value for the specific revision(s) they have been distributed. When editing, the system will only update the selected revision, ensuring data accuracy and consistency.
This feature allows for better tracking and management of custom field data, making it easier to view and maintain information across multiple revisions of a Document.
