Hello,Vault experts! Please,look at such scenario :
I created custom object and inserted link to file "drawing.dwg" into it. After this I changed this file "drawing.dwg" and changed it's revision to "B". What is a proper way to disable link revision increment and to disable link version increment, so, that we can see "A" revision and "1" version of linked file by default?
I need this because my custom object has been fixed and must reflect "A" revision, not "B"!
Unfortuately Links only hook to entities at the master level, which means you link to the entire set of versions. There is no way to create a Link to a specific version.
There are couple of workarounds...
Option #1 - If your custom object only links to 1 file, you could put the file's version or revision number as a property on the custom object.
Option #2 - There is a way set meta-data on a Link. The meta prameter on the AddLink function lets you set any meta data. You can read the meta-data by calling GetDataOnLinks (or GetMetaOnLinks if you are on Vault 2014). All these functions are in the DocumentService.
This meta-data will not be visible through the default Vault UI.
