Items could live after "death" (obsolete)?

[Maxim-CADman77]

Vault Pro SR1 SP1.

One of Items (Number=B112DV11113) has two revisions

"1" (historical) State=Obsolete

"1.1" (Latest) Satete=WIP

Could anyone imagine the scenario where user is allowed to repeat same trick (to my mind switching Items state to "Obsolete" means complete stop of further activities, not)?

Obsolete in Items does not mean dead.  They can be revived back to either WIP or In Review.

Perhaps you feel there should be an option to disable this so that Obsolete means permanantly?  This might be a good suggestion for the Vault Idea Station.

No. I don giving any ideas. I just want to understand which users steps
could lead to such a result.

As far as I can see, right now, there is nothing to prevent a user from changing the state of an Obsolete Item.  You could create a custom view in Item Master on the client machines, which would hide all Obsolete Items.  If they can't see them, they can't change them?

I understand that user can change Obsolete to WIP and then make any
further changes (ex. Create rev "1.1").

But then rev "1" would not be Obsolete ...I t would be WIP, right?

By default, yes.  If you go from Obsolete to WIP, it'll retain the Revision that it was at before being obsleted.  But you can change this if you want so that going from Obsolete to WIP would result in a Revision bump.

I'm the Vault manager.

I'm 99.99% sure our Vault has bump settings intact/default (only from
Relesed->WIP).

I'm 100% it never had revision bump for Obsolete->WIP.

....yet there is at least one Item that has historical Obsolete
revision.

I'm puzzled...

[Maxim-CADman77]

Now I've set up revision bump for Obsolete->WIP (IMHO Autodesk should do this by default).
Issue is not actual anymore.
