Copy-Design choose category-lifecycle-revision scheme

[xavier_dumont1]

Hello,

Consider this configuration:

Category Engineering

Revision Scheme: Prototype (default) / Production

Revision Scheme "Prototype"

00/01/02/03...

Revision Scheme "Production"

A/B/C/D...

1) Create a file 001.ipt

2) Check-in => revision = 00

3) Relesae the file

4) WIP the file=> revision = 01

5) Change revision scheme to Production => revision = A

6) Release the file

7) Perform a copy design in order to make a new prototype 001.ipt => 001_v2.ipt

😎 The initial revision scheme of the original file is apply to the new file (default. 001_v2.ipt revision_scheme = Production / revision = A

9) Then change the unwanted revision scheme revision_scheme = Prototype / revision = 00

10) Release the file

11) WIP the file => revision = 01

12) change the revision scheme to Production revision = B

At this point it's not possible to start to A because this revision in already consumed.

If you give the right to choose cat/lfcyl/revscheme/rev during the prepare step of the Copy-design, this could be a great enhancement.

If you refund the copy-design tools in the future this could be something you must consider.

Thanks in advance.

The new version of Copy Design in Vault 2015 R2 enables users to reset or reuse the current category - this should then inherit the default revision scheme without consuming any revision scheme values.
